| Research Abstract |
Electrochemomechanical deformation(ECMD) in conducting polymers is interested in driving of robots, because of the large strain, force and quiet operation. However, the long cycle stability is required for the practical application. The long cycle stability in ECMD of polypyrrole was demonstrated by using ionic liquids, and the mechanism was clarified. Poly(ethylenedioxythiophene) exhibited stable operation even in saline water. Furthermore, polyaniline is found to show a training effect under operation of tensile stresses.
