The Effect of Ion Delivery on Polypyrrole Strain and Strain Rate under Elevated Temperature

Conducting polymers can act as actuators when an electrochemical stimulus causes the materials to undergo volumetric changes. Ion flux into the polymer causes volumetric expansion and ion outflow causes contraction. Polypyrrole is an attractive actuator material due to its ability to generate up to...
