In this work, we printed a Nafion precursor membrane by fused deposition modeling (FDM) rapid prototyping technology and further fabricated IPMCs electroless plating. The ion-exchange capacity of the was tested, morphology observed. electro-mechanical properties under AC voltage inputs were studied, grasping experiments performed. results show that after hydrolysis has good ability water-holdin...

Ionic polymer metal composites (IPMCs) are unique electroactive polymers that show promise as actuators in soft robotics and biomedical applications. The modeling numerical simulation of the behavior these materials significantly complicated by nature underlying electrochemical phenomena, which occur nanometer-thick layers proximity electrodes. Hence, dielectric constant IPMCs is often rescaled...
