Abstract
The direct conversion of electrical energy into mechanical
energy is crucial for a number of high-technology applications.
Macroscopic sheets of single-walled carbon nanotubes, working
under physiological conditions (in salt water for example) and
low voltage, have shown comparable or superior performances
than natural muscle. Specific characteristics of single or
nanotube bundles allows one to expect even greater intrinsic
properties for nano and micro actuator devices based on one or
a few hundred nanotubes. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All
