Abstract
ABSTRACTThis paper studied the fabrication of new hybrid-type poly(3,4- ethylene dioxythiophene) (PEDOT)/sulfonated graphene oxide electrode-based polymer actuator produced by film casting method. Sulfonated Poly(1,4-phenylene ether-ether sulfone) (SPS) ion-exchange polymer membrane-based ionic polymer composite actuators were fabricated using the different concentration of SGO. The characterization and actuation were demonstrated. By altering SGO concentration, four different SPS based membrane actuators were analyzed. The effects of SGO concentration on the morphology, proton conductivity, ion exchange capacity, and water uptake capability were studied. The maximum tip displacement and force by varying concentration of SGO were evaluated for the actuation performance.
