| Abstract(in English) | Many possible applications for Nafion Metal Composite actuators require not one actuator but rather an array of actuators, which we may call a multi-arrayed actuator. We tried to design a multiarray actuator in the membrane itself by simply patterning the surface electrode. We designed several independent octagonal electrodes on the same piece of Nafion. We were able to actuate each actuator independently despite the high constraints and without having actuation of the others. We used copper ion as counter ion in the Nafion membrane and a double-layer Platinum-Copper electrode. This system yields a large deformation at low voltage. It seems that Copper electrolysis is taking place inside the membrane upon actuation. |
