We have developed a planate conducting polymer actuator based on polypyrrole (PPy) and two types of acids, such as p-phenol sulfonic acid and dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid, by electrodeposition. Its structure was patterned bimorph structure with anion-driven, cation-driven and bimorph layers. The planate conducting polymer actuator could deform only its central part locally. Moreover, we introduce a micro-pump that operates by planate conducting polymer actuator as the drive source. The water level in the flow channel of micro-pump shows the reciprocating motion measuring ±2 mm in accordance with the oscillation of the bimorph conducting polymer actuator which was approximately 28 μl/min. The oscillating volume can be controlled by the application of electrochemical potential and its scan rate applied to the actuator.}, pages = {272--276}, title = {Planate conducting polymer actuator based on polypyrrole and its application}, volume = {150}, year = {2009}, yomi = {フチワキ, マサキ and タナカ, カズヒロ} }
