Microfabrication of PPy microactuators and other conjugated polymer devices
Open accessAbstract
Conjugated polymers have a number of interesting properties that can be exploited in microfabricated sensors and actuators. For example, polypyrrole is a conjugated polymer that can change volume to deliver significant stresses and strains. These materials can be patterned using conventional microfabrication techniques. The procedures for doing this are described in this paper, focusing on the microfabrication of polypyrrole microactuators. In addition, other methods for the deposition and patterning of conjugated polymers are reviewed. A special technique for releasing actuators, differential adhesion, is also detailed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
