METHOD FOR PREPARING POLYMER ACTUATORS WITH HIGH STABILITY AND POLYMER ACTUATORS PREPARED BY THE METHOD

摘要

A method for producing a highly stable polymer actuator is provided to allow the use of a polymer actuator at a low temperature and even after treatment at an extremely high temperature. A method for producing a highly stable polymer actuator comprises: a step(S11) of preparing an ionic polymer/metal composite comprising metal electrodes plated on both surfaces of a conductive polymer membrane; a step(S12) of removing water from the conductive polymer membrane of the ionic polymer/metal composite; and a step(S13) of swelling the ionic polymer/metal composite in a polar solvent having a higher boiling point and a lower freezing point than water. The polar solvent includes propylene carbonate.
