Electrochemical actuators and actuator arrays

Abstract

In some embodiments, electrochemical actuators include a sealed electrolytic chamber with two or more electrodes disposed therein and associated reservoirs. In some embodiments, the electrochemical actuators include one or more rigid structures that are overmolded onto one or more electrodes to form the electrolytic chambers. In some embodiments, multiple rigid structures that are overmolded onto two separate electrodes may be connected to form one or more electrolytic chambers with a desired configuration of electrodes contained therein. In some embodiments, manufacturing methods and structures relate to the formation of an array of electrochemical actuators.
