Abstract:In this work, a voltage-heating actuated flexible solvatochromic film is developed using the composites of Nafion film-nickel complexes with spray-coated silver nanowires (AgNWs). The nickel complexes, inside Nafion film through ion exchange, serve as colorable components due to the coordination number change of water molecules in solvatochromism. The color-changing process of the composites was characterized experimentally by adjusting the water content in films, which exhibit distinct coloration properties f… Show more
“…As shown in Figure 2 a, the main structure of Nafion is formed by the polymerization of the C-F long chain with the sulfonic acid group at the end of the side chain. The sulfonic acid group can be agglomerated to form a nanochannel, as shown in Figure 2 molecules can migrate in a specific direction 15,16 . Therefore, the interior of Nafion microscopically presents a porous structure 17 (Figure 2 c), which also facilitates the rapid migration of ions.…”
As a kind of ionic polymer-based transducer with excellent electromechanical properties, ionic polymer metal composite (IPMC) has wide applications in the fields of bionic robots, medical devices and wearable devices...
