Ionic polymer-metal composite characteristics

Additionally, different additives were studied to enhance the actuation characteristics of ionic polymer-metal composites. Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (M-CNT) were incorporated in the polymer matrix to improve mechanical properties and electrical conductivity. The tests indeed showed... [Pg.267]

In this chapter, the fundamental aspects of the ionic polymer-metal composite (IPMC) actuators have been described. The IPMC actuators have many unique characteristics such as softness, large bending response, low voltage drive, easy forming into any shape, and so on, which are suitable for biomedical applications. In the next chapter, the biomedical applications of IPMC actuators are described. [Pg.117]
