巴基凝胶驱动器是一种新型的电活性聚合物（EAP），它是一种低压驱动的干式软驱动器。此外，巴基凝胶装置在弯曲时产生电动势，也可以用作传感器。其器件具有双压电晶片结构，具有聚合物支撑的巴基凝胶电极和聚合物支撑的离子凝胶电解质。它可以通过逐层铸造来制造，以容易地形成任何形状。在本文中，我们展示了一种基于印刷方法的巴基凝胶器件的自动制造方法。通过使用点胶机，我们构建了印刷系统，并以自动印刷代替手动成型过程。我们通过实验研究了复杂形状和三维电极图案的印刷。
A bucky gel actuator is a novel electro-active polymer (EAP), which is a low-voltage-driven dry soft actuator. In addition, the bucky gel device generates electromotive force when bending and then it can also be used as a sensor. Its device has a bimorph structure with polymer-supported bucky gel electrodes and a polymer-supported ionic gel electrolyte. It can be fabricated by layer-by-layer casting to easily form any shape. In this paper, we demonstrate an automatic fabrication method of bucky gel devices based on a printing method. By using a dispensing machine, we construct the printing system and the manual forming process is replaced with automatic printing. We investigate the printing of complicated shapes and three-dimensional electrode patterns through experiments.
