The current ionic polymer actuators demand symmetric assembly of two electrode layers, which brings much difficulty to the patterned electroding process and thus significantly limits their practical application. We proposed a novel actuating structure of ionic polymer with single-layered electrodes, in which the electrodes are fabricated on one side of the substrate, leading to distinct S-shaped deformation with large displacement and high load capacity. This structure tolerates complex electrode patterning process and can be extended to most ionic polymer actuators. Thereby it provides a brand new strategy for the design of so-based soft electromechanical appliance with versatile deformation behavior. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
