A self-actuated electrocaloric polymer heat pump design exploiting the synergy of electrocaloric effect and electrostriction

Caloric cooling is an attractive family of technologies owing to their environmental friendliness and potential for higher efficiency than present refrigeration systems. Cooling devices based on the electrocaloric (EC) effect specifically have the added benefit of being easily miniaturized, enabling...
