碩士 === 東海大學 === 工業工程與經營資訊學系 === 102 === Many researchers have demonstrated the performance of nanotubebuckypaper actuator, the main purpose of this study is to use nanotube buckypaper and polymer proton exchange membrane (Nafion) to form a complex three-tier structure of the actuator, which allows the actuator exhibits low energy consumption and high efficiency of light weight performance. However, the carbon nanotube sheet is composed of different types of carbon nanotubes, and will result in different electronic actuation performance. Using theDesign of experiment (DOE) and Optimization nanotubebuckypaper and compare the performance of the actuator to achieve the process stability, high durability, and excellent performance of the actuator, the actuator such a possibility appears to mimic the body's muscles, with the height of the potential applied to the robot control systems, or MEMS. In this study ,the first to use laser-induced displacement of the sensed measuring the actuator and by scanning electron microscope cross-section of the composite actuator side of the case, the initial judge the performance of their advantages and disadvantages, and then follow-up experiments. And the use of two level fractional factorial (〖 2〗^(5-1) Fractional Factoria) experimental design,selection hot-presspressure , hot-press temperature , nanotube buckypaper type, proton exchange membrane type, ionic liquid of the solution experimental factors of the nanotubebuckypaper composite actuator ,displacement,the conductivity, Young's modulus and blocking force as the response variable , the paper analyzes nanotubes induced correlation factor between the actuator and its performance is optimized with process improvement , and by statistical analysis diagram obtained nanotubebuckypaper composite actuator performance optimization of parameter combinations .
