Synthesis and Characterization of Conducting Polymer Actuators
Conducting polymers are known to mechanically respond to electrochemical stimuli and have been utilized as linear actuators. To date, the most successful mechanism for actuation is ionic ingress and egress, though mechanisms based on conformational changes and molecular interactions have also been proposed. In the pursuit of new conducting polymer actuators it is necessary to design, synthesize...
متن کاملForce control of a tri-layer conducting polymer actuator using optimized fuzzy logic control
Conducting polymers actuators (CPAs) are potential candidates for replacing conventional actuators in various fields, such as robotics and biomedical engineering, due to their advantageous properties, which includes their low cost, light weight, low actuation voltage and biocompatibility. As these actuators are very suitable for use in micro-nano manipulation and in injection devices in which t...
متن کاملModeling, Identification, and Application of Multilayer Polypyrrole Conducting Polymer Actuators
Experiments were performed using commercially available, self-contained, multilayer polypyrrole (PPy) actuators to develop low-order lumped parameter models of actuator electrical, mechanical, and electromechanical behavior. Experimental data were processed using system identification techniques. Both grey box and black box models were identified. The grey box model consisted of a first order e...
متن کاملDevelopment and Modeling of Conducting Polymer Actuators and the Fabrication of a Conducting Polymer Based Feedback Loop
Conducting polymers as a class of materials can be used to build a diverse range of devices. Conducting polymer based actuators (muscles), transistors (neurons), strain gages (muscle spindles), force sensors (Golgi tendon organs), light emitting diodes, photodetectors (eyes), batteries and supercapacitors (energy storage), and chemical sensors (noses) can all be manufactured. The range of behav...
متن کاملCancer cell migration within 3D layer-by-layer microfabricated photocrosslinked PEG scaffolds with tunable stiffness.
Our current understanding of 3-dimensional (3D) cell migration is primarily based on results from fibrous scaffolds with randomly organized internal architecture. Manipulations that change the stiffness of these 3D scaffolds often alter other matrix parameters that can modulate cell motility independently or synergistically, making observations less predictive of how cells behave when migrating...
