This paper discusses a novel electroacoustic transducer that uses the electrostrictive response of a polymer film. The active element of the transducer is a thin silicone-rubber film, with graphite powder electrodes on each side, that forms an array of bubble-like radiating elements. In experiments,

Acoustics has a special relationship with signal processing. Many concepts in signal processing arise naturally from our general experience with sound and vibration and, more than in many other fields, acoustics is concerned with the acquisition, analysis, and synthesis of signals. Consequently, the
All-polymer electrostrictive soft films were developed for the first time by depositing conductive polymer (polypyrrole) directly on both sides of solution-cast electrostrictive polyurethane elastomer films. The final composite films are flexible with strong adhesion between the polyurethane film an
## Abstract Nanomachining of thin polymer resist films with an atomic force microscope (AFM) is a promising route for the fabrication of nanoscale devices. In order to enhance the controllability of the nanomachining process an inβplane acoustic wave is coupled to the sample support. This enhances
