Study on the Performance of Ionic Polymer-Metal Composites of Various Fabrication Technique

Abstract:

onic Polymer Metal Composites (IPMC) is a new kind of electro-active smart material that has many advantages including bending actuation, large displacement, low weight, low driven voltage, low power consumption, flexibility etc. The mechanical characteristic of IPMC is related to ionic polymer membrane, such as thickness, roughening, cation type and so on. In this paper, the actuation principle of IPMC and fabrication technique of Nafion^TM membrane is presented. The performance of IPMC with Nafion membrane pre-treatment, different cation type and thickness are investigated. Experiment results showed that the fabrication process of ionic polymer membrane Nafion change can improve the performance of IPMC effectively.
