Synthesis & Characterization of Parylene D films on Nafion-117 for Robotic Arm

The era of industrialization needs the discovery of new materials rapidly. The ionic nature of Nafion 117 makes it feasible for the biosensors and other robotic devices. The uncoated nafion 117 is highly unstable at high temperature and evaporative water loss is also present. The coating of noble material make it more efficient and highly stable at adverse conditions. The high cost of noble material may be barrier fpr its day to day applications. Therefore, parylene D has been selected as coating material for base substrate material to maintain its efficiency as well as working. The present study is done to compare the parylene D coated material with the uncoated nafion 117. The water holding capacity and ion exchange capacity has been investigated in the given research.
