Poly(3-methylthiophene) electrochemical actuators showing increased strain and work per cycle at higher operating stresses

Conducting polymers, such as polythiophenes, are promising low voltage actuator materials. The performance of these materials has improved significantly in recent years. A remaining problem, however, is the significant decline in the actuation strain produced when the external stress is increased. U...
