A new type of very small size cylindrical actuator of polypyrrole (PPy) was fabricated by an electrochemical polymerization: 3 mm in height and 1 mm in diameter. The actuation behavior of cylindrical PPy actuator was investigated in the different liquid electrolytes: tetrabutylammonium perchlorate (TBAP)/methyl benzoate and aqueous solution of dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid (DBSA), lithiumperchlorate/propylene carbonate, 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium bis(trifluoromethyl sulfonyl)imide, (BMITFSI). The effects of different liquid electrolytes were investigated on the actuation behavior. The volume-change of the actuator was measured by a laser beam as the oxidized state. |
