FIGURE 2.42
Measured blocking forces (top) and surface resistance of IPMNC samples
prepared (bottom). The standard sample size is 5 mm

information is given in terms of particles used, platinum, and the final material with gold
electrodes.

In general, the effect of such a stretching method of manufacturing IPMNCs
seems to benefit the IPMNC performance in terms of the blocking force in a
cantilever configuration. The results are presented in figure 2.42. Significantly
improved generative forces were produced.
