Spray-coated carbon nanotube carpets for creeping reduction of conducting polymer based artificial muscles.
During cyclic actuation, conducting polymer based artificial muscles are often creeping from the initial movement range. One of the likely reasons of such behaviour is unbalanced charging during conducting polymer oxidation and reduction. To improve the actuation reversibility and subsequently the long time performance of ionic actuators, we suggest using spray-coated carbon nanotube (CNT) carp...
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 کاملModeling and inverse feedforward control for conducting polymer actuators with hysteresis
Conducting polymer actuators are biocompatible with a small footprint, and operate in air or liquid media under low actuation voltages. This makes them excellent actuators for macroand micro-manipulation devices, however, their positioning ability or accuracy is adversely affected by their hysteresis non-linearity under open-loop control strategies. In this paper, we establish a hysteresis mode...
متن کاملSoft Linear Electroactive Polymer Actuators based on Polypyrrole
There is a growing demand for human-friendly robots that can interact and work closely with humans. Such robots need to be compliant, lightweight and equipped with silent and soft actuators. Electroactive polymers such as conducting polymers (CPs) are “smart” materials that deform in response to electrical simulation and are often addressed as artificial muscles due to their functional similari...
متن کاملOptimization of mechanical performance of oxidative nano-particle electrode nitrile butadiene rubber conducting polymer actuator.
Present work delivers a systematical evaluation of actuation efficiency of a nano-particle electrode conducting polymer actuator fabricated based on Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR). Attempts are made for maximizing mechanical functionality of the nano-particle electrode conducting polymer actuator that can be driven in the air. As the conducting polymer polypyrrole of the actuator is to be fabri...
