Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is one of the most used materials in bio-applications. However, previous works were mainly focused on mechanical aspects. In this paper we presented a practical and efficient approach to enhance the electrical properties of PDMS by using conducting polymer nanowires (CPNWs). The nanowires were synthesized using the template method and added in PDMS to form nanocomposites...
Conducting polymers (CP) are promising electro-active polymers and have been increasingly used in actuator applications. This paper is intended to characterize the electromechanical correlation between the current input and curvature output of polypyrrole trilayer actuators. A mathematical model was developed using the multilayer bending theory and an analogy between thermal expansion and ion insertion...
Electroactive conducting polymers (CPs) have been frequently used for fabricating bending actuators. To model this type of actuation, the traditional double-layer beam bending theory was implemented by neglecting the thickness of the thin intermediate metal layers for the sake of simplification. However, this common assumption has not been carefully validated and the associated errors have not been...
