AbstractElectroactive hydrogels have received increasing attention due to the possibility of being used in biomimetics, such as for soft robotics and artificial muscles. However, the applications are hindered by the poor mechanical properties and slow response time. To address these issues, in this study, supramolecular ionic polymer–carbon nanotube (SIPC) composite hydrogels were fabricated via in situ free radical polymerization. The polymer matrix consisted of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), styrene sulfonic sodium (SSNa), β-cyclodextrin (β-CD)-grafted acrylamide, and ferrocene (Fc)-grafted acrylamide, with the incorporation of SSNa serving as the ionic source. On applying an external voltage, the ions accumulate on one side of the matrix, leading to localized swelling and bending of the structure. Therefore, a controllable and reversible actuation can be achieved by changing the applied voltage. The tensile strength of the SIPC was improved by over 300%, from 12 to 49 kPa, due to the reinforcement effect of the CNTs and the supramolecular host–guest interactions between the β-CD and Fc moieties. The inclusion of CNTs not only improved the tensile properties but also enhanced the ion mobility, which lead to a faster electromechanical response. The presented electro-responsive composite hydrogel shows a high potential for the development of robotic devices and soft smart components for sensing and actuating applications.

Sintered magnesium alloys, which were fabricated by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) method, were examined to study corrosion characteristics by electrochemical method, XRD and EPMA. The binary mixtures alloys of a low-melting-point metal powder (Sn, Bi, Sb) of1.0 vol.% and the pure magnesium powder were prepared. In the Mg-1.0vol.%Bi and Mg-1.0vol.%Sn, Mg3Bi2 and Mg2Sn precipitates was recognized by XRD, respectively. In addition, formation of oxide along powder particle boundaries was observed by EPMA elemental mapping in all specimens. In the case of Mg-1.0vol.%Zn, precipitation of metallic compounds was not recognized by these experiments. According to the results of polarization curve measurements, the Mg-1.0vol.%Bi shows highest corrosion potential. However, corrosion rate which was estimated by Tafel method is relatively larger than other alloys due to Mg3Bi2 precipitation. This result suggests that Mg3Bi2 acts as cathode site. The Mg-1.0vol.%Sn shows superior corrosion rale in these alloys.
