Abstract
This study socus on developing actuators from continuous fibrous conjugated polymers. Two distinct strategies are investigated: First, we introduce a wet-spinning process for PEDOT: PSS fibers without the use of a passive support fiber, followed by a subsequent electro-polymerization of polypyrrole onto the fiber. Additionally, we introduce a device designed for the continuous electro-polymerization of filamentary, free-standing polypyrrole tapes, utilizing a rotary disc electrode. Our findings reveal that the mechanical properties of pure PEDOT: PSS fibers and polypyrrole-coated PEDOT: PSS fibers significantly surpass those of the produced polypyrrole tapes. Moreover, both the spun fibers and polypyrrole tapes exhibit remarkably high electrical conductivity. We also conduct a comprehensive analysis of their electromechanical performance and provide a comparative assessment.
