Experimental research on factors of flexible electrode resistance characteristics for electroactive polymer

Abstract

To analysis the features of the flexible electrode resistance of electroactive polymer, this article adopted flexible electrode preparation experiments to discover the impact factors of internal resistance. Different flexible electrode was made through changing the ratio between the different materials. Then internal resistance measurement experiment was adopted to discover the impact factors and the relationship between impact factors. From experiments we concluded that internal resistance of flexible electrodes was influenced by matching relationship, carbon powder mesh, storage time and any other influence factors. So that a series of flexible electrodes with different resistance value were manufactured. The experiment showed that same carbon powder under different mesh had different resistance value, and resistance value changed without regularity; resistance value changed irregularly with the increasing carbon powder mesh; with the increasing quantity of carbon powder, resistance value presented a tendency of decreasing, until the mixture was too dry to lose function; flexible electrode resistance value increased over time, because of the volatilization of electrode materials.
