Patterning and electrical interfacing of individually controllable conducting polymer microactuators
Conducting polymer actuators such as polypyrrole (PPy) microactuators are interesting candidates to drive autonomous microrobotic devices that require low weight and low power. Simple PPy tri-layer bending type microactuators that operate in air have been demonstrated previously but they lack individual control and had problems with short circuiting due to electrical connections. The lack of mi...
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 ...
متن کاملPure Graphene Oxide Doped Conducting Polymer Nanocomposite for Bio-interfacing.
Advanced materials that are highly biocompatible and easily modifiable with biomolecules are of great importance for bio-interfacing and the development of biodevices. Here, a biocompatible conducting polymer based nanocomposite was electrochemically synthesized through the electropolymerization of poly(3, 4-ethylene dioxythiophene) (PEDOT) in the presence of graphene oxide (GO) as the only dop...
متن کاملConducting-Polymer Nanotubes Improve Electrical Properties of Neural Electrodes
An in vitro comparison of conducting-polymer nanotubes of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) and poly(pyrrole) (PPy) and to their film counterparts is reported. Impedance, charge-capacity density (CCD), tendency towards delamination, and neurite outgrowth are compared. For the same deposition charge density, PPy films and nanotubes grow relatively faster vertically, while PEDOT films and ...
متن کاملChemo-Electrical Gas Sensors Based on Conducting Polymer Hybrids
Conducting polymer (CP) hybrids, which combine CPs with heterogeneous species, have shown strong potential as electrical transducers in chemosensors. The charge transport properties of CPs are based on chemical redox reactions and provide various chemo-electrical signal transduction mechanisms. Combining CPs with other functional materials has provided opportunities to tailor their major morpho...
