journal contribution
posted on 2003-06-17, 00:00 authored by J Ding, D Zhou, G Spinks, G Wallace, S Forsyth, Maria ForsythMaria Forsyth, D MacFarlaneThe use of ionic liquids (ILs) as electrolytes for electromechanical actuators based on polypyrroles (PPy's) is described. The composition of the electrolytes has a significant effect on the electrochemical properties of the PPy actuator and subsequently on actuator performance, improving cycle life and strain generated. The actuator performance in ionic liquid electrolytes is significantly better than that in traditional organic and aqueous electrolytes.
