| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The soft and highly conductive PEDOT/PSS films were fabricated by addition of xylitol (Xyl). The IL/PU/PEDOT/PSS/Xyl soft actuators were fabricated by sandwiching a transparent ionic liquid/polyurethane (IL/PU) gel between two flexible PEDOT/PSS/Xyl electrodes. Upon application of an electric field, the actuator showed quick and intensive bending toward anode due to the movement of ionic liquid in the gel. It was found that the soft actuator operated at frequencies higher than 50 Hz, which was associated with the soft and flexible IL/PU gel and PEDOT/PSS/Xyl electrodes with high ionic and electric conductivities, respectively.
