Feasibility of miniature polypyrrole actuated valves

Polypyrrole is a conducting polymer that can change in volume as its oxidation state is altered. This change in volume, operable at low voltages, can be used to create small actuating devices. The goal of this thesis is to evaluate the use of polypyrrole for the creation of a low voltage polymer...
