Principle of the electromechanical characterization setup using a displacement sensor.

The operational principle of a conventional electrostrictive polymer before and after actuation. Developing an electrostatic stress between oppositely charged electrodes squeezes the electrostrictive polymer, thereby causing a lateral displacement of the specimen.
