Improved design of polymeric composite electrothermal micro-actuator for high track density hard disk drives

Recently, we have developed a polymeric composite electrothermal micro-actuator for dual-stage applications in hard disk drives (HDDs). The polymer composite was demonstrated with a larger thermal expansion as compared to silicon. Yet, the previous design of polymeric composite thermal actuator was...
