以多孔隙尼龍摻雜導電高分子製作可撓式感測器和致動器

Abstract

本文提出一種快速的製程和混合電敏感摻雜物的多孔隙尼龍特性作為可撓性觸覺感測陣列、溫度感測陣列、溼氣感測器和致動器的應用。多孔隙尼龍作為基材整合在可撓軟性基板上，提供可撓機械性質。在基材內部，聚批落(導電高分子)電化學合成在預先定義的指叉銅電極上並且作為導電摻雜物。做為不同應用感測器的電機械特性已經量測。電致動器的變形也已經模擬。

This paper presents rapid fabrication process and characterization of porous nylon with electro-active dopants for the applications of flexible tactile sensor array, temperature sensor array, moisture sensor and actuator. Porous nylon was used as the matrix integrated on a flexible copper-PI film, which provided flexible mechanical properties. Inside the matrix, polypyrrole was electrochemically deposited on the pre-defined interdigitated copper electrodes and acted as conductive dopant. The electro-mechanical characteristics of the fabricated sensors for different applications were measured. The deformation of the electro-active actuator was simulated.
