Electromechanical Transduction in Ionic Liquid-Swollen Nafion Membranes
Traditionally, water has been used as the diluent for ionomeric polymer transducers. The water mobilizes the counterions within the polymer and allows electromechanical transduction to occur. However, these water-swollen devices have limited stability when operated in a non-aqueous environment. I...
