Ionic Polymer-Metal Composites (IPMC) As Biomimetic Sensors and Actuators
This paper discusses a number of recent findings in connection with ion-exchange polymer-noble metal composites (IPMC) as biomimetic sensors and actuators. These smart composites exhibit characteristics of both actuators and sensors. Strips of these composites can undergo large bending and flapping displacement if an electric field is imposed across their thickness. Thus, in this sense they are...
متن کاملDevelopment of Ionic Polymer Metallic Composites as Sensors
DEVELOPMENT OF IONIC POLYMER METALIC COMPOSITES AS SENSORS By: David Griffiths Ionomeric polymer transducers (IPTs) are an exciting new class of smart materials that can serve a dual purpose in engineering or biomedical applications as sensors or actuators. Most commonly they are used for mechanical actuation, as they have the ability to generate large bending strai...
متن کاملControl of Ionic Polymer Metal Composites
Robotic devices are traditionally actuated by hydraulic systems or electric motors. However, with the desire to make robotic systems more compact and versatile, new actuator technologies are required. In this paper, the control of ionic polymer metal composite actuators is investigated from a practical perspective. The actuator characteristics are examined though the unblocked maximum displacem...
متن کاملElectromechanical response of ionic polymer-metal composites
An ionic polymer-metal composite ~IPMC! consisting of a thin Nafion sheet, platinum plated on both faces, undergoes large bending motion when an electric field is applied across its thickness. Conversely, a voltage is produced across its faces when it is suddenly bent. A micromechanical model is developed which accounts for the coupled ion transport, electric field, and elastic deformation to p...
متن کاملMorphological and Electromechanical Characterization of Ionic Liquid / Nafion Polymer Composites
Ionic liquids have shown promise as replacements for water in ionic polymer transducers. Ionic liquids are non-volatile and have a larger electrochemical stability window than water. Therefore, transducers employing ionic liquids can be operated for long periods of time in air and can be actuated with higher voltages. Furthermore, transducers based on ionic liquids do not exhibit the characteri...
