Muscle-like Actuators? a Comparison between Three Electroactive Polymers
Muscles fulfill several functions within an animal’s body. During locomotion they propel and control the limbs in unstructured environments. Therefore, the functional workspace of muscle needs to be represented by variables describing energy management (i.e. power output, efficiency) as well as control aspects (i.e. stiffness, damping). Muscles in the animal kingdom vary greatly with respect to...
متن کاملPrepration and Characterization of Novel Ionoic Polymers to be Used as Artificial Muscles
The muscle-like technology would be of enormous advantages for biomedical applications such as medical implants and human assist devices. Ionic polymer metal composites (IPMCs) are one kind of biomimetic actuators. An ionic polymer metal composite composed from an ionomer with high ion exchange capacity that packed between two thin metal layers. In the present study we focused on the prep...
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 کاملCharacterization of Constrained Aged Niti Strips for Using In Artificial Muscle Actuators (Technical Note)
Marvelous bending/straightening effects of two-way shape memory alloy (TWSMA) help their employment in design and manufacturing of new medical appliances. Constrained ageing with bending load scheme can induce two-way shape memory effect (TWSME). Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis, electrical resistivity measurement (ERM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) are employed to dete...
متن کامل4th World Congress on Biomimetic, Artificial Muscles and Nano-Bio Life Time of Trilayer Actuators Based on Polypyrrole
Artificial muscles based on polypyrrole films doped with ClO4 had demonstrated movements up to 180 degrees in LiClO4 aqueous solution which are controlled through the applied electrical current. Movements of this type are achieved with currents from 10 mA. The current density and its polarity control the rate and the movement ́s direction of the artificial muscle[1, 2]. Besides, bilayer and tril...
