Sensing and Tactile Artificial Muscles from Reactive Materials

Sensing and Tactile Artificial Muscles from Reactive Materials

Films of conducting polymers can be oxidized and reduced in a reversible way. Any intermediate oxidation state determines an electrochemical equilibrium. Chemical or physical variables acting on the film may modify the equilibrium potential, so that the film acts as a sensor of the variable. The wor...
