Abstract
The possibility of creating vacuum robotics based on the polymer
structures irradiated by an electron beam, in particular, polymer
fibers, which provide high functional flexibility and a variety of
states, is discussed. The possibility of using polymer fibers as
different types of MEMS-like electromechanical elements is demonstrated
- from elastic cantilevers to springs that change their state under the
electron beam. Experimentally proved the presence of different
functional types of fibers, correlating with their thickness, as well as
the phenomenon of the fiber break. A number of exotic forms of dynamics
have been demonstrated and a method for their detection has been
developed using 2D Fourier spectra, integral spatial characteristics,
time rsolved correlograms and wavelet transforms (visualized as the
scaleograms / scalograms). Access barcodes for the full video records of
the corresponding experiments are provided.
