Abstract

The composite of ionic polymer and metal has been fabricated and used for actuators. Platinum is deposited by electroless plating method onto the both sides of ionic polymer where ac voltage is applied. This results in the bending motion of a beam type actuator. In this paper, the fabrication method of ionic polymer-metal composite has been explained and the moving mechanism has been fabricated and measured using the ionic polymer-metal composite actuator. The moving mechanism is wireless type and the power is supplied through the rail electrodes in base plate. The maximum speed of the moving mechanism was about 24cm/min.

이온 전도성 고분자와 금속의 복합물을 제작하고 이를 액추에이터로 이용하였다. 이온 전도성 고분자의 양면에 백금을 무전해 도금하여 전극으로 사용하고 이 두 개의 전극에 교류전압을 인가하면 구부러지는 형태의 빔 형 액추에이터를 제작할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 액추에이터의 제작 과정을 상술하고 이를 이용하여 이동형 액추에이터를 제작하였다. 이동형 액추에이터는 전선이 없는 형태로 하단의 전극 레일을 이용하여 전압을 인가하며 진동하는 빔 형 액추에이터의 충격을 흡수하며 앞으로 진행한다. 제작한 이동형 액추에이터는 최대 약 24cm/min 정도의 속도를 갖는 것으로 측정되었다.
