Prepration and Characterization of Novel Ionoic Polymers to be Used as Artificial Muscles
The muscle-like technology would be of enormous advantages for biomedical applications such as medical implants and human assist devices. Ionic polymer metal composites (IPMCs) are one kind of biomimetic actuators. An ionic polymer metal composite composed from an ionomer with high ion exchange capacity that packed between two thin metal layers. In the present study we focused on the prep...
متن کاملConductive Filler Morphology Effect on Performance of Ionic Polymer Conductive Network Composite Actuators
Several generations of ionic polymer metal composite (IPMC) actuators have been developed since 1992. It has been discovered that the composite electrodes which are composed of electronic and ionic conductors, have great impact on performance of ionic polymer actuators by affecting strain level, efficiency and speed. One of important factors in composite electrodes is the shape and morphology o...
متن کاملMonolithic fabrication of ionic polymer–metal composite actuators capable of complex deformation
Ionic polymer–metal composites (IPMCs) are soft actuation materials with promising applications in robotics and biomedical devices. However, traditional IPMC actuators can generate the bending motion only. In this paper, a lithography-based approach is presented for monolithic, batch-fabrication of IPMC actuators that are capable of complex deformation. Such an actuator consists of multiple, in...

متن کاملComparative experimental study of ionic polymer-metal composites with different backbone ionomers and in various cation forms
An ionic polymer-metal composite (IPMC) consisting of a thin perfluorinated ionomer (usually, Nafion or Flemion) strip, platinum, and/or gold plated on both faces and neutralized by a certain amount of appropriate cations undergoes large bending motion when, in a hydrated state, a small electric field is applied across its thickness. When the same membrane is suddenly bent, a small voltage of t...
