Particular material that becomes strained under electrostatic

[sol66]

I am currently looking for a particular material that becomes strained under electrostatic or magnetic fields. I am new to the world of solid state physics and I was interested on doing a research project on the studies of the electrostriction effect.

Thank You

Have you looked into piezoelectric material?

Zz.

Yes I have, I'm sorry if I wasn't specific. I was looking for a material that was not a crystal like structure, but more of an organic polymer.

I also realized, that none crystal like structures are not under the branch of solid state physics. To be extremely specific I'm looking for a polymer that can be looped, and when an electrostatic field is passed through it, the loop will shrink. Sorry if I'm being dumb, thanks for the replies.

Try PVDF. It's a piezoelectric polymer (polyvinylidene fluoride). And organic, I suppose.

Sorry, i haven't found one yet... :-)
