Abstract(in English) We have proposed the application to a moving device such as actuator without ionic solvent using the electrostriction effect of PUE films. Because these actuators work at high voltage more than 1 KV, we controlled the molecular structure of films by doping C_<60> derivative (fullerenol) and carbon nano tube (CNT) derivative into PUE so that the actuators could operate under a low voltage. The bends of fullerenol and CNT derivative doped actuators were larger than that of non-doped actuators and the working voltage was also low. Also, the force of these actuators increased in proportion to an electric field, and strongly depend on the thickness of PUE films. In order to clear the bending mechanism of actuators, we measured the space charge of PUE films using the pulsed electro-acoustic (PEA) method. The polar groups of molecular chains in soft segments of PUE were suggested to play important role on the bending mechanism of actuator.
