제목 Anion-Exchanging Membranes for Ionic Polymer Actuators
초록 Ionic polymer actuators are promising candidates for the artificial muscles due to their large, fast and soft deformation under low operating voltage (1–5 V). Nafion is most typical cation-exchanging polyelectrolyte membranes for the ionic polymer actuators for its high ionic conductivity and excellent chemical properties. However, they have the disadvantages including a fast back-relaxation and dehydration of water. Herein, we present the ionic polymer actuator using methylated ether-linkaged polybenzimidazole (mPBI-OO) anion-exchanging membranes. The mPBI-OO membranes can control the ionic conductivity by conventional anion exchange process. The mPBI-OO membranes are exhibited excellent mechanical properties in hydrated state. The mPBI-OO ionic polymer actuators are easily fabricated by painting the electrode materials on the mPBI-OO membranes, and it shows fast bending deformation at low dc operating voltage without back-relaxation behavior.
