我们开发了一种可光固化的离子凝胶，用于制作空气中低电压驱动的软驱动器。制作了一台样机，并在空气中施加了低于±1.5V的电压进行驱动。对该驱动器的驱动性能进行了实验测试。在1.1V以下，执行器的最大位移与输入电压成正比，执行器的实时位移与外加电流的积分值成正比。这一特性在执行器的精确实时位置控制中具有潜在的应用价值。最后，我们利用两个离子凝胶驱动器制作了一种微夹持器，并演示了对空气中微物体的抓取。
We have developed a photocurable ionic gel for fabricating soft actuators driven at low voltage in air. A prototype actuator was produced and driven by applying a voltage of below ± 1.5 V in air. The driving performance of the actuator was examined experimentally. The maximum displacement of the actuator was proportional to the input voltage under 1.1 V and the real-time displacement of the actuator was proportional to the integrated value of the applied current. This feature is of potential use in precise real-time position control of actuators. Finally we fabricated a microgripper using two ionic gel actuators, and demonstrated grasp of a micro-object in air.
