Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recently, much attention has been focused on soft materials that can directly transform electrical energy into mechanical work for a wide range of applications including robotics, tactile and optical displays, prosthetic devices, medical devices, and microelectromechanical systems. Low-voltage electroactive polymer (EAP) actuators that can respond quickly and are softly driven are particularly useful, because they can be as applied to artificial muscle-like actuators for various bio-medical and human affinity applications. Based on the data acquired in this study, flexible and robust films show promise as electrode materials for wearable and energy conversion devices. This same concept can also be used in conjunction with other electrochemical materials for energy conversion systems to increase the range of applications.
