Hybrid Materials Made from Nanoporous Metals and Electrically Conductive Polymers as Electro-Chemo-Mechanical Actuators — •Benedikt Roschning1 and Jörg Weissmüller1,21Institute of Materials Physics and Technology, Hamburg University of Technology, Hamburg, Germany — 2Institute of Materials Research, Materials Mechanics, Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht, Geesthacht, Germany

Nanoporous metals can be used as functional materials like sensors or actuators, due to their high intrinsic, externally accessible surface. The mechanism is based on surface stress variations as a consequence of an applied electrical potential. This stress variation acts on the underlying bulk atoms, resulting in actuation, scaling with the feature size. The environmental stability and structural coarsening due to surface diffusion restricts the materials choice to noble metals like gold or platinum and are still an issue in terms of long-term stability.

Another class of electro-chemo-mechanical actuators are conductive polymers. Their actuation is caused by the incorporation of co-ions between the polymer chains for charge balancing. Within thin films, fast ion exchange is possible, but the stiffness of the underlying substrate limits the effect of actuation.

A combination of both approaches, the coating of the intrinsic surface area of nanoporous metals with electrically conductive polymers, leads to superior electrochemical and actuatoric properties. Within this contribution, we address manufacturing approaches, the electrochemical properties as well as the underlying mechanisms for actuation.
