SELF-SENSING IONIC POLYMER-METAL COMPOSITE ACTUATOR IN WHICH DRIVING AND SENSING UNITS ARE ELECTRICALLY SEPARATED

摘要

PURPOSE: A self-sensing ionic polymer-metal composite actuator is provided to control the strain without a separate sensor by measuring an electric signal between first and second sensing electrodes and changing the voltage according to the measured electric signal.;CONSTITUTION: A self-sensing ionic polymer-metal composite actuator comprises a driving unit(120) and a sensing unit(130). The driving unit comprises first and second driving electrodes(121a,121b) which are located opposite to each other. The sensing unit includes first and second sensing electrodes(131a,131b) which are located opposite to each other and electrically separated from the first and second driving electrodes.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2010
