Research Abstract |
We developed a twisting conducting polymer soft actuators with bimorph structures, such as anion and cation layers and constructed a micro pump driven by the twisting conducting polymer soft actuator. The micro pump could transport fluids in one direction without backflow. The maximum pressure of the delivery head was 4.9 kPa, and the flow rates ranged approximately 0.8 to 7.6 μl min-1. The basic performance of the micro pump driven by the twisting conducting polymer soft actuator was almost same as that by the opening and closing conducting polymer soft actuator.
