PAlAm-MAANaゲルの電解質溶液中での電場印加による屈曲挙動

抄録

The gels has lately attracted attention as functional materials of actuator, sensor and artifical muscle, etc. But their mechanical response and strength are still insufficient to apply these as functional materials. Hence, we synthesized gels with good response, and investigated their bending rates in electrolytic solutions by impressing electric field. We prepared Polyallylamine-metacryl acid, sodium salt gels (PAlAm-MAANa gels) from Allylamine phosphate, Methacrylic acid and N, N′-methylene-bis-acrylamide, and measured its bending rate in electrolytes solution under electric field. The result, the PAlAm-MAANa gels (PAlAm ratio; 50% and MBAA ratio; 7%) indicated bending rates of; 21.00°/s. Thus, the PAlAm-MAANa gels were found to be applicable to actuator and artifical musle as new functional materials.
