The development of mobile haptics and multimodal designs has been strongly limited by the lack of enabling actuator technologies. This paper presents the properties of an electrostrive actuator technology for haptic feedback. By carefully tailoring material properties and actuator designing which can be integrating in devices, this technology should provide a realistic possibility of haptic design with considerable latitude. Haptic characteristics are described and realized and their impact on haptic design is discussed. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The kinetic heating curves showed an exponential dependence with a heating rate constant for each composite. Equilibrium temperature was reached after a short heating time, and decreased with the presence of positive temperature coefficient of resistance (PTC) effect. The composites exhibited self-regulating capability and the equilibrium temperature depended on the applied voltage and electric power with different relationships. An application of using HDPE-CB composite as a heating element for resistance welding was demonstrated.
