Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and black (CB) have been widely used as conductive fillers in electroactive polymer composites. MWCNT-based composites generally lower resistivity percolation thresholds, while CB-based ones are considerably cheaper. To balance these pros cons, ternary (TCs) (polymer-MWCNT-CB) can be formulated. Here, we prepared MWCNT-CB TCs capable of self-healing with sha...

Autonomous under robots are highly demanded in environmental monitoring, intelligent collection, and deep water exploration. Aquatic animals (e.g., fishes, whales, rays, etc.) are ultimate examples of superior swimmers as a result of millions of years of evolution, endowed with a variety of morphological and structural features for moving through water with speed, agility, and efficiency. Recen...

This article includes an overview of the materials and a thorough analysis methods that are used to produce dielectric electroactive actuator membranes. The paper also presents extensive results from our experimental studies on two types addition silicone (Silicone Mold Start 15 Dragon Skin 10M) manufacture actuators with different active membranes thicknesses (165 μm 300 μm, respectively). stu...

in this research, an enzyme modified electrode has been produced during the electropolymerization of aniline through incorporation of sulfite oxidase into a conducting polymer. then the bioelectrochemical response of resulted sulfite biosensor was investigated at different experimental conditions. study of  the stability of the resulted sulfite biosensor revealed that formation of a passive fil...

Ionomeric Polymer-Metal Composites (IPMC) are attractive type of electroactive polymer actuation materials because of their characteristics of large electrically induced bending, mechanical flexibility, low excitation voltage, low density, and ease of fabrication. The diffusion of ions between the electrodes causes the material to bend. The unique features of the IPMC materials and their need f...
