Abstract

Bent by oxidation! A polyaniline (PAn, blue) coated cantilever acts as an electro-driven microdevice. Reversible oxidation/reduction of the PAn results in reversible deflection of the cantilever (see picture) originating from the electrostatic repulsion of the charged polymer chains of PAn2+ (green).
