Abstract

Micro machines are expected in advanced medical instruments for micro surgery. Typical materials for the actuators are shape memory alloys such as TiNi(titanium nickel) and piezoelectric compounds such as PZT(lead zirconate titanate). For future medical application the materials will be required to be deposited directly on the surfaces of plastics in the form of crystalline thin film, since most medical instruments such as catheters for blood vessel surgery are made of polymeric plastics. Then the film will be finished into some micro actuators.
