PEDOT Based Conducting IPN Actuators: Effects of Electrolyte on Actuation

Abstract:

Actuators from conducting IPNs architecture are described. The electroactive materials are based on several PEO/elastomer IPNs as solid polymer electrolytes in which the conducting polymer Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) is gradually dispersed, i.e. its content decreases from the outside towards the centre of the film. Influence of the electrolyte on the actuation properties has been studied. Moreover, the effect of actuator thickness has been investigated. It is shown that the decrease of the thickness leads to fast response systems presenting large deformations at frequencies above 100 Hz.
