An object of this invention is to create an actuator in which the amount of deformation is maintained and no displacement in the reverse direction occurs, even when a constant voltage is continuously applied for a long period of time. As a means for achieving the above object, the invention provides a conductive thin film comprising a polymer gel containing at least one organic molecule selected from the group consisting of electron-donating organic molecules and electron-withdrawing organic molecules, a nano-carbon material, an ionic liquid, and a polymer.

A composite resin material particle of the present invention includes: a resin material particle that is a material for producing a resin molding product; and a conductive nano-material, wherein a dispersion mixing layer, which is obtained by dispersedly mixing the conductive nano-material from the surface to the inside of the resin material particle, is formed over all of the surface or at least a part of the surface of the resin material particle, the conductive nano-material is dispersedly mixed within a resin material of the resin material particle in the dispersion mixing layer, and the whole of the dispersion mixing layer forms a conductive layer.

This invention relates to a composite material which is a copolymer of at least (i) a functionalised carbon nanoparticle, (ii) a polyol, (iii) a compound comprising at least two isocyanate groups, wherein the functionalised carbon nanoparticle and the polyol are covalently bonded by a urethane and optionally a urea and/or an amide linkage, and a process for producing the same. Such composite materials are suitable for use in moulded articles for implantation within a mammal.
