The present invention provides an electroactive solid-state actuator,
including a solid polymer electrolyte film having first and second main
surfaces facing each other, and first and second conductive polymer
layers infiltrated into the first and second main surfaces of the solid
polymer electrolyte film. Further, a method of manufacturing the
electroactive solid-state actuator is provided, the method including
preparing a solid polymer film having first and second main surfaces
facing each other, infiltrating a monomer of a conductive polymer into
the first and second main surfaces of the solid polymer film, followed by
polymerization, to form first and second conductive polymer layers, and
immersing the solid polymer film into an ionic liquid or liquid
electrolyte to be converted to an electrically conductive polymer.
