Abstract
The current ionic polymer actuators demand symmetric assembly of two electrode layers, which brings much difficulty to the patterned electroding process and thus significantly limits their practical application. We proposed a novel actuating structure of ionic polymer with single-layered electrodes, in which the electrodes are fabricated on one side of the substrate, leading to distinct S-shaped deformation with large displacement and high load capacity. This structure tolerates complex electrode patterning process and can be extended to most ionic polymer actuators. Thereby it provides a brand new strategy for the design of so-based soft electromechanical appliance with versatile deformation behavior.
