Microfabricating conjugated polymer actuators.
Conjugated polymer actuators can be operated in aqueous media, which makes them attractive for laboratories-on-a-chip and applications under physiological conditions. One of the most stable conjugated polymers under these conditions is polypyrrole, which can be patterned by means of standard photolithography. Polypyrrole-gold bilayer actuators that bend out of the plane of the wafer have been m...

CONJUGATED POLYMER ACTUATORS AND SENSORS: MODELING, CONTROL, AND APPLICATIONS By Yang Fang Conjugated polymers are soft actuation and sensing materials with promising applications in biomedical devices and micromanipulation systems. However, their sophisticated electro-chemo-mechanical dynamics and nonlinear behaviors present significant challenges in such applications. This dissertation is foc...
متن کاملRedox level-dependent impedance model for conjugated polymer actuators
The reduction–oxidation (redox) level of a conjugated polymer has significant impact on its electro-chemo-mechanical properties, such as conductivity, impedance, and Young’s modulus. Understanding and modeling the influence of redox level is of interest to both fundamental understanding of conjugated polymers and practical applications of these materials. In this paper a redox level-dependent i...
متن کاملproportional-derivative fuzzy control of conjugated polymer actuators
conjugated polymer actuators can be employed to achieve micro and nano scale precision, and have a wide range of applications including biomimetic robots, and biomedical devices. in comparison to robotic joints, they do not have friction or backlash, but on the other hand, they have complicated electro-chemo-mechanical dynamics which makes modelling and control of the actuator really difficult....
متن کاملPerpendicular Actuation with Individually Controlled Polymer Microactuators
We are using microactuators based on a conducting polymer, polypyrrole, and demonstrate here a scheme to make true three-dimensional movements. We present a complementary microfabrication method, which was developed in order to create individually addressable and controllable PPy/Au actuators. Using these individually controlled microactuators we are able to obtain movements both out of and in ...
