<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem that, when a high voltage is applied for largely displacing or bending a polymer actuator element, aqueous or nonaqueous organic polar liquid collaterally used as solvent is electrolyzed to generate air bubbles, especially hydrogen gas. <P>SOLUTION: This polymer actuator element includes at least the solvent and ion-exchange resin as polymer electrolyte between opposed metal electrodes, and is so constituted that the metal electrodes are composed of metal having a hydrogen storage capacity and/or a catalytic combustion capacity or a layer including metal having the hydrogen storage capacity and/or the catalytic combustion capacity is provided on the metal electrodes as a plating layer. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
