Strategies for High Resolution Patterning of Conducting Polymers
The discovery of conducting polymers by MacDiarmid, Shirakawa and Heeger in 1977 has generated enormous interest in π-conjugated macromolecules.[1] Since then, their unique properties such as the metal-insulator transition induced by doping-undoping process, controllable optoelectronic property through molecular design and attractive mechanical properties and processing advantages have stimulat...
متن کاملPatterning two-dimensional free-standing surfaces with mesoporous conducting polymers
The ability to pattern functional moieties with well-defined architectures is highly important in material science, nanotechnology and bioengineering. Although two-dimensional surfaces can serve as attractive platforms, direct patterning them in solution with regular arrays remains a major challenge. Here we develop a versatile route to pattern two-dimensional free-standing surfaces in a contro...
متن کاملMagnetic Actuation of Hinged Microstructures
We have investigated magnetic actuation of hinged, surface micromachined structures. Electroplated magnetic material (Permalloy) is integrated with two types of hinged microstructures and the magnetic actuation process has been experimentally characterized. Under a given external magnetic field, the angular displacement of a hinged structure is determined by the volume of the magnetic material ...
متن کاملModelling and performance enhancement of a linear actuation mechanism using conducting polymers
In this paper, we report on our investigation into modelling and performance enhancement of a linear actuation system based on cantileveredtype conducting polymer actuators, which can operate in air and aqueous media. We have employed the model to predict the linear displacement and force output of the actuation system, and to determine the optimum values of the system design parameters. The li...
متن کاملSolitonic States in Organic Conducting Polymers
In a typical solitonic distribution, the soliton density is distributed over the entire moleculeand the present work shows how its density can be decomposed into solitonic and antisolitoniccomponents. It is found that there exists a unique electron as soliton over the anionicnanoconductor, while there are many other solitons and antisolitons. The solitonic states are furtherdecomposed to the ca...
