Reduced and internally bised oxide wafer (RAINBOW) ceramics show excellent properties such as high displacement under applied electric field and enhanced load bearing capabilities. The actuating mechanism, structure and properties of the RAINBOW ceramics are reviewed. Finally, the developing direction is also discussed.展开更多
