Optimization Design for Conducting Polymer Soft Actuator that twist and Its Application to Micro Pump

我们研制了一种具有阴阳离子层等双晶片结构的扭转导电聚合物软驱动器，并构建了由该软驱动器驱动的微泵。该微泵可以单向输送流体，不会出现回流现象。出水头最大压力为4.9kpa，流量约为0.8kpa~7.6kpa Lμ-1。扭转导电聚合物软驱动器驱动的微型泵的基本性能与开闭式导电聚合物软驱动器驱动的微泵基本相同。

We developed a twisting conducting polymer soft actuators with bimorph structures, such as anion and cation layers and constructed a micro pump driven by the twisting conducting polymer soft actuator. The micro pump could transport fluids in one direction without backflow. The maximum pressure of the delivery head was 4.9 kPa, and the flow rates ranged approximately 0.8 to 7.6 μl min-1. The basic performance of the micro pump driven by the twisting conducting polymer soft actuator was almost same as that by the opening and closing conducting polymer soft actuator.
