Electromechanical Modelling of Ionic Electroactive Polymer Actuators
Migration of ions under electric field is the phenomenon behind the mechanical deformation of ionic polymer actuators. This transport process is influenced by numerous factors depending on the physical, chemical and electrical properties of the material used [1]. Among them porosity and tortuosity are one of the main influencing factors that modifies ion channels and so the properties of the ma...
متن کاملPolymer Actuators for Micro Robotic Applications
In this thesis a multilayer actuator structure is developed for the I-SWARM project. In order to build an energy efficient and low voltage actuator system for the 3x3x3 mm robot, the resonance drive mode in combination with a ten layer multilayer structure build upon the most suitable substrate material was used. Two different sizes of the locomotion module were built. The first one is five tim...
متن کاملA Short Review on Fabrication Methods of Micro-Cantilever for Ionic Electroactive Polymer Sensors/Actuators
Micro-electroactive polymers have wide applications from industry to healthcare. Artificial muscles, microvalves, microswitches, haptic sensing, blood pressure and pulse monitoring are some potential applications for micro-electroactive polymers. The most advantage of micro-electroactive polymers as sensors and actuators is bio-compatibility and low power threshold for large deformations...
متن کاملFreeform Fabrication of Electroactive Polymer Actuators and Electromechanical Devices
In pursuit of the goal of producing complete electromechanical systems entirely via solid freeform fabrication, we are developing a library of mutually compatible, functional, freeform elements. Several essential elements – actuation, sensing, and control electronics still remain to be incorporated into this library. Conducting polymers (CP) are a class of materials which can be used to produce...
