NEXIPAL® is a versatile EAP (Electroactive Polymer) laminate designed for actuators and capacitive sensors. It is composed of one or multiple ultrathin silicone layers, known as ELASTOSIL® Film, which have a thickness ranging from 20 to 400 µm. These silicone layers are coated with specialized electrodes, laminated together, and then precisely cut into the desired shape. Multiple layers can be stacked on top of each other to achieve the desired performance.
