Pt/Ag IPMNC Based on Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube

The aim of this study is to fabricate, characterize and evaluate the performance of a Pt/Ag double layer ionic polymer-metal composite based on Multi-Walled Carbon Nano Tubes (MWCNT). Therefore, single and double layer metallic coating on a perfluorinated polymer membrane were prepared by electroless plating. Electrical properties, metal distribution in membrane and current-time diagrams were obtained. Although single-layer coatings because of their electro oxidation and high electrical resistance had no reproducible current-time peaks and no bending movement the double layer Pt/Ag actuator based on MWCNT showed a good stability after voltage application and an appropriate performance and reproducible current-time peaks
