Nakabo et al. [14] developed a snake-like swimming robot with a patterned-electrode IPMC. The aim is that a snake-like motion sweeps a smaller area than simple bending swimming. Thus, it is suitable for future swimming robots in thin tubes, such as blood vessels, as shown in Figure 6.16. 

In addition to forming continuous organometallic multilayer thin films, we explored the LbL deposition of polyferrocenylsilane polyions onto, for instance, hydrophilically/hydrophobically modified substrates with the aim of building two-dimensionally patterned organometallic multilayers. In general, surfaces modified with microscopically patterned conducting, luminescent, or redox-active polymer films have potential use in microelectronic and optoelectronic devices and microsensor arrays. Area-selective deposition of polyferrocenylsilane polyions can be an attractive method to obtain two-dimensionally patterned redox active films, which may be used as electrochemically modulated diffraction gratings. ... 

The above developments had two major consequences. First, the identification of the various hexatic phases led to a detailed classification of the large variety of thermotropic liquid crystal phases. The essential structural details of these phases are illustrated in the Appendix8>9. Second, the diffraction patterns yield novel crossover critical phenomena. In three dimensions, this presented single experiments which yield a simultaneous measurement of many anisotropy crossover exponents, previously obtained from separate complex experiments. For very thin layers, the patterns allow detailed studies of the crossover from two to three dimensions, and provide new quantitative information on the two dimensional hexatic phase. 2 The present paper aims at a brief review of these developments. 

The iirteraction of a fluid flow with the surface of a solid body is a subject of great interest. Matty technical measurements are aimed to determine the shear forces, pressure forces, or heating loads apphed by the flow to the body. A possible means of estimating the rates of momentum, mass, and heat transfer is to visualize the flow pattern very close to the body surface. For this purpose, the body surface can be coated with a thin layer of a substance that, upon the interaction with the fluid flow, develops a certain visible pattern. This pattern can be interpreted qualitatively, and in some cases, it is possible to measure certain properties of the flow close to the surface. Three different interaction processes can be used for generating different kinds of information.
