| Research Abstract |
This research develops polymer coating micro-structured actuating film and its characteristics, which is fabricated by LIGA technology and has Ni core fine structure of several hundreds micrometer in thickness, as a new functional material in the field of mechatronics. The main fruits are following :
(1)Shape design of Ni core fine structure film and the simulation of its driving performances
(2)Design of LIGA process
(3)Generation of mask data and fabrication of masks
(4)Study on some basic technique (lamination of PMMA and Al-substrate, optimum condition for nonelectroplating of Ni, technique for polymer coating etc.)
(6)basic experimental study on driving performance of Ni core micro-structured film (This was done by using millimeter size similar film.)
By the reason why the working plan of "New Subaru", where high energy X-ray radiation was to be provided for this research, has been seriously delayed, it is very regrettable that the polymer coating micro-structured actuating film could not be completed in fabrication and the publicity on this research has to be delayed to the next fiscal year.
