[SY-H1] Multiscale modeling of electro-responsive gels

Invited

^○Masao Doi (Beihang University, China)

Certain kind of ionic gels show electro-mechanical coupling: the gel deforms when electric field is applied, and, conversely, electric field is created when the gel is deformed. Such phenomena may be used for actuators and sensors. In this talk, I will discuss the physical modeling of the electro-mechanical coupling in ionic gels.
