Patterning Method of IPMC Actuator Using a Milling Machining

Abstract:

A simple and low-cost patterning method is proposed for arbitrary undulatory motion of IPMC actuator. A commercial milling machine is used to provide desired pattern width and depth on surfaces of IPMC actuator. The copper tape is then used to connect electricity to electrode of patterned surfaces. The 2-segment patterned IPMC actuators are fabricated by combining electroless plating and milling machining which can provide precise patterning and control thickness of Platinum electrode layer. It is experimentally confirmed that the proposed patterned IPMC actuator produces undulatory motion as expected. The suggested method can easily be implemented into the IPMC actuator for various applications.
