Does anyone know of a polymer or something that bends when an elcetric
current is passed through it.  It needs to be very fast acting,
although if you only know of something that can point me in the right
direction it would be very apreciated.  I am working on something
which would use that sort of thing.  I guess it can also be a plastic
that will vibrate extremely fast almost buzz.  I guess piezo film does
that but I don't know where to get just a small square or the like,
except in a radioshack buzzer(which is not what I want).

Any replies are appreciated.

thank you,

P.S.  Where do I send my unsubscribe message for sci.virtual-worlds.
