Abstract:

This presentation discusses how biopolymers such as chitosan and ionic polymer metal composites (IPMCs) can be combined by intercalation and co-polymerization to form a new nanocomposite with actuation, energy harvesting and sensing capabilities and yet have medical healing and diagnostics capabilities. Described are chitosan and ionic polymeric networks containing conjugated ions that can be redistributed by an imposed electric field and consequently act as distributed nanosensors, nanoactuators and artificial muscles. The presentation briefly discusses the manufacturing methodologies and the fundamental properties and characteristics of such chitosan/ionic polymers as distributed nanosensors, nanoactuators and artificial muscles. It will further include descriptions of the basic materials' typical molecular structures. An ionic model based on charge dynamics of the underlying sensing and actuation mechanisms is also presented. Intercalation of chitosan biopolymer and ionic polymers such as perfluorinated sufonic ionomers and subsequent chemical plating of them with a noble metal by a REDOX operation is also reported and the properties of the new product are briefly discussed.
