Application of the Ionic Polymer-Metal Composite Sensor Array Indisplacement Measurement

Abstract:

An Ionic Polymer-Metal Composite (abbr. IPMC) is a type of a smart materialconsisting of two layers of noble metal and an ion-conducting layer between them. Smart ma-terials are generally capable of actuating and sensing. Mechanical deformation of the IPMCbeam produces an electric potential di erence (in the order of mV) proportional to the tipdisplacement on the electrodes. In this paper, the sensing capabilities of IPMC samples will beinvestigated. The composites are manufactured in a form of a thin (0.3 mm) plate, which arecut into rectangular samples. Tests will be performed on separate samples and two electricallyconnected samples. Response to various frequencies will be tested for each sample and for twomechanically and electrically coupled samples, creating a simple sensor array.
