Electro-active polymers: current capabilities and challenges
In the last ten years, new EAP materials have emerged that exhibit large displacement in response to electrical stimulation enabling great potential for the field. To develop efficient and robust EAP material for practical applications efforts are underway to understand the behavior of EAP materials and improved characterization techniques. Further, to enhance the actuation force the basic prin...
متن کاملMorphology Characterization of Particle Filled Polymers by Tomographic Methods
Several polypropylene composites with varying amounts of inorganic particles of different sizes were investigated. In dependence of the particle sizes four different tomographic methods were used to describe the morphology 3-dimensionally. For particle sizes of several micrometers sub-μm X-ray tomography and light optical tomography are suitable whereas for smaller particle sizes scanning elect...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Biomimetic Excitable Cell Using Electro-active Polymers
Electro-active polymers are being used to develop a biomimetic excitable gel-cell, through which ion species flow to produce excitability and refractoriness, as found in the biological cardiac myocyte (CM). The artificial gel-cell is composed of a thin ionic gating membrane made of polypyrrole (PPy) sandwiched between two areas of ionic liquid polymer gel (ILPG). ILPG is a soft gelatinous mater...
متن کاملModeling and Simulation of Viscous Electro-Active Polymers.
Electro-active materials are capable of undergoing large deformation when stimulated by an electric field. They can be divided into electronic and ionic electro-active polymers (EAPs) depending on their actuation mechanism based on their composition. We consider electronic EAPs, for which attractive Coulomb forces or local re-orientation of polar groups cause a bulk deformation. Many of these m...
متن کاملMathematical modelling of the active hearing process in mosquitoes.
Insects have evolved diverse and delicate morphological structures in order to capture the inherently low energy of a propagating sound wave. In mosquitoes, the capture of acoustic energy and its transduction into neuronal signals are assisted by the active mechanical participation of the scolopidia. We propose a simple microscopic mechanistic model of the active amplification in the mosquito s...
