Development of a Partially-Transparent Nanofiber Mat Actuator
Source abstract
Abstract
We have developed an actuator consisting of an ionic liquid gel electrolyte sandwiched between two nanofiber mat electrodes. The electrodes were fabricated by an electro-spinning technique followed by the vapor phase polymerization of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT). The strain induced by the actuator sharply increased when the polymerization time of the electrode was more than 6 min. This actuator exhibited partial transparency, and could drive at very low voltage (1.5 V), comparing with the conventional dielectric actuators having transparency.
