초록
본 연구에서는 폴리피롤 (PPy)/gold/mylar 형태의 두 겹의 전기활성 구동기를 제작하였으며, 도판트의 종류에 따른 굽힘 구동 특성에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 전도성 고분자는 전기적으로 산화/환원이 될 때에는 도판트의 이동에 의하여 부피 변화를 수반하게 된다. 도판트의 크기에 따라, 서로 다른 구동 특성을 나타내었는데, toluene sulfonate와 같은 작은 크기의 도판트는 산화/환원에 따라 PPy 필름의 내외로 자체 이동이 가능하며, 산화시에 PPy의 팽창이 관찰되었다. 그러나, dodecylbenzenesulfonate와 같은 커다란 도판트가 함유된 PPy는 산화/환원시에는 이들의 이온들은 움직임이 없는 것으로 나타났으며 환원시에 작은 양이온(Na+)이 필름내부로 유입되며 부피가 증가하는 현상이 관찰되었다.
In this study, PPy/gold/mylar type electroactive bi-layer actuator was prepared by the electrochemical polymerization of pyrrole onto the gold/mylar film and the actuation characteristics were studied using bending beam method. Conducting polymer-based actuators undergo volumetric changes due to the movement of dopant ions into the film during the electrical oxidation process. The bilayer films exhibited different actuation characteristics depending on dopant ion size. It was observed that the relatively small dopant ion (i.e. toluene sulfonate) moved into the PPy film at oxidized state, so volume expanded to result in bending motion. In case of the film having large dopant ion (i.e. dodecylbenzenesulfonate), volume expansion was observed at reduced state. This is due to the incorporation of Na+ counterion with water molecules, while the large dopant ion was fixed in the film due to the limited mobility during the redox process.
