Academic year of acceptance: Abstract: Mass production of conducting polymer actuators with reliable performance is
envisaged in the field of artificial muscles. In this study, inkjet printing and
spin coating – two established technologies for large\-scale production – were
combined for microactuator fabrication. Actuators based on
poly(3,4\-ethylenedioxy\-thiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) electrodes
(PEDOT:PSS, 2\.2 μm thick, 190 S cm−1\), which were inkjet\-printed onto a
spin\-coated membrane of an interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) thin film
composed of nitrile butadiene rubber and poly(ethylene oxide)
(PEDOT:PSS\-IPN\-PEDOT:PSS) with a total thickness of 12\.7 μm, were prepared
and studied. Our goal was to investigate the performance of the trilayers in
linear actuation, in aqueous and organic (propylene carbonate) solutions of
bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide lithium salt (LiTFSI) used as electrolytes, and
in bending actuation in air using an ionic liquid as the electrolyte.
Electro\-chemo\-mechanical deformation (ECMD) measurements were consistent with
electrochemical measurements showing a strain of 3% in aqueous electrolyte and
1% in propylene carbonate. A strain of 0\.14% in the bending mode in the ionic
liquid was observed due to electric double layer charging, while in electrolyte
solutions, redox reactions determined the linear actuation properties. In the
aqueous electrolyte, a specific capacitance of 193 F g−1 was measured for the
printed PEDOT:PSS films, with potential for applications in supercapacitors.
