摘要: The effect of humidity and polyethylene oxide (PEO)–polyethylene glycol (PEG) content on the actuator performance cellulose/PEO–PEG microcomposites was studied. Upon blending 5% PEO–PEG, maximum bending displacement increased nearly twice compared to that cellulose EAPap actuator. However, further increase PEO–PEG resulted in decreased performance. This might be due intermolecular interaction by hydrogen bonding reduces mobility molecules. test showed level rather reduced actuators. X-ray diffractogram Fourier transform infrared spectrum analysis suggested a structural change as well disruption association attributed degradation at high level. POLYM. ENG.
