Ionic polymer-metal composites

There is growing interest in biomimetic motions, which imitate the action of natural muscles. Since such motions are difficult to realize using conventional appliances such as mechanical, hydraulic, or pneumatic actuators, research efforts are focused on the development of new muscle-like actuators. Electroactive polymers (EAPs) including polymer gels [63], ionic polymer-metal composites (IMPCs) [64], conductive polymers [56], and carbon nanotubes [65] are candidates to address the performance demands. [Pg.792]

EAPs can be broadly divided into two categories based on their method of actuation ionic and field-activated. Further subdivision based on their actuation mechanism and the type of material involved is also possible. Ionic polymer-metal composites, ionic gels, carbon nanotubes, and conductive polymers fall under the ionic classification. Ferroelectric polymers, polymer electrets, electrostrictive polymers, and dielectric elastomers fall under the electronic classification. [Pg.3]

Shahinpoor and Moj aired used ion-exchange materials and membranes to produce electrically responsive actuators [41—48] and also encapsulated ion-exchange membrane sensor/actuators. Shahinpoor used electrically responsive polymers coupled with springs and other mechanical devices to improve upon electrically responsive actuators [52] and ionic polymeric conductor composites and ionic polymer metal composites to drive pumps and mini-pumps [41].

The purpose of this book is to provide a focused, in-depth, yet self-contained treatment of recent advances made in several most promising EAP materials. In particular, the book covers two classes of ionic EAPs, ionic polymer-metal composites (IPMCs) and conjugated polymers, and one class of electronic EAP materials, dielectric elastomers. Ionic EAPs realize actuation through ion transport, and thus require very low voltages (a few volts) to operate, but their bandwidths are typically lower than tens of Hz. On the other hand, dielectric elastomers rely on electrostatic forces to operate and thus require high actuation voltages (kilovolts), but... [Pg.1]
