| Abstract |
In order to fabricate stable conductive polymer actuators which can be operated in air, conductivity and solidity of polymer electrolyte materials have been studied. It was found that Nafion+LiCl is appropriate material to be used for conductive polymer actuator. Using the Nafion+LiCl solid polymer electrolyte, single layer PPy actuators have been fabricated and their deflection was measured. Double layer PPy actuators make up for shortcoming of single layer PPy actuator and displacement and frequency response can be improved by fabrication of double layer PPy actuator. This kind of all-solid-polymer actuator can be used for practical applications. |
