The flexible soft actuators of conducting polymers can directly convert electrical stimulus into mechanical motions, which can be used for robotics and biomimetic applications. Herein, an electro-responsive membrane actuator based on poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrene sulfonate), functionalized single-walled carbon nanotube was fabricated using solution casting method with poly(vinyl alcohol) as a base intermediate polymer membrane. The poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrene sulfonate) was evenly ornamented onto the single-walled carbon nanotube/poly(vinyl alcohol) membrane (single-walled carbon nanotube/ poly(vinyl alcohol)/ poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrene sulfonate)) surfaces through dip coating and verified by scanning electron and transmission electron microscopy analysis. The desirable bending response of the fabricated single-walled carbon nanotube/ poly(vinyl alcohol)/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrene sulfonate) membrane with time at different voltages and generated tip force makes it a promising material as a new-generation conductive polymer-based soft actuator. A permutation of the electrical conductivity, more surface area, and admirable electromechanical properties of the single-walled carbon nanotube/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrene sulfonate) components consequences in the composite electrode exhibited excellent actuation performance compared to the ionic polymer-metal composite actuators with Pt electrodes surface. The fabricated actuator membrane can be employed for artificial muscles, robotics, and other bio-mimetic applications.

M ULTIWALL carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were added to poly-(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/ sodium alginate (SA) bio-blend. PVA/SA was prepared with ratio (80/20) wt%. Different ratios of MWCNTs were added to PVA/SA blend to study the change in its physicochemical properties. The prepared films were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Differentierties that are preferably al scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis to confirm the good miscibility of the two biopolymers and the uniform distribution of the MWCNTs. Mechanical properties, thermal stability, morphological properties, and crystallinity of the polymer matrix before and after blending were evaluated. The enhancement of structural and mechanical properties was observed during the addition of MWCNTs. PVA/SA with the optimum concentration of MWCNTs hoped to be suitable for the field of drug delivery and other various medical applications.
