Evaluation of operating characteristics of Flemion®-based IPMC with ionic liquids operated in water

　View Summary

In this paper, we describe evaluation results of operating characteristics of Ionic Polymer-Metal Composite (IPMC) with ionic liquids. This actuator has a feature of large displacement under low driving voltage drive, although its generation power was small. We prepared IPMC by incorporating ion liquid into it and evaluated moving performance in water. The performance has been improved compared to IPMC with alkali metallic ion. ©2010 IEEE.

Development of flexible rubber electrode for dielectric elastomer actuator

Yuuki Kinoshita, Shigeki Tsuchitani, Kunitomo Kikuchi

2010 IEEE/SICE International Symposium on System Integration: SI International 2010 - The 3rd Symposium on System Integration, SII 2010, Proceedings  2010  

　View Summary

Dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA) is expected as an artificial muscle. In this study, fabrication methods of two types of rubber electrodes for DEA were proposed. Moreover, effect of rubber materials on rubber electrodes, effect of amount of solvent (heptane) in rubber materials on performance of DEA, and effect of conducting materials (Ketjen Black and multi wall carbon nanotube) on rubber electrodes were evaluated. The activated relative area strain increased with increase in the hardness of the rubber. The maximum area strain was 38.28% when 4kV was applied. On the other hand, the fabrication method using low solvent has a possibility to fabricate DEA efficiently. ©2010 IEEE.

Fabrication of ionic polymer-metal actuator of microcantilever type

Ippei Shimizu, Kunitomo Kikuchi, Shigeki Tsuchitani

2010 IEEE/SICE International Symposium on System Integration: SI International 2010 - The 3rd Symposium on System Integration, SII 2010, Proceedings  2010  

　View Summary

In this study, in order to develop fabrication process of ionic polymer-metal composite (IPMC) actuator of microcantilever type, we evaluated actuation characteristics of a thin film type IPMC. Though its displacement was smaller than that of IPMCs fabricated by using the commercial ionic polymer (Nafion) film, the actuation of the thin film type IPMCs was confirmed. It depended on the thickness of the Nafion layer. We can expect the realization of MEMS devices integrated with the thin film type micro IPMCs fabricated by the propose method. ©2010 IEEE.
