Résumé

This paper reports the synthesis of an electroactive polymer actuator in polypyrrole (PPy) on a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) substrate. The technological development is detailed. This study reports our investigation on a tri-layer PPy actuator for large deformations and comparison with literature modeling. We also investigate their use towards real applications by introducing lifetime measurement, encapsulation and closed loop control.
