Influence of Temperature on the Electromechanical Properties of Ionic Liquid-Doped Ionic Polymer-Metal Composite Actuators
Ionic polymer-metal composite (IPMC) actuators have considerable potential for a wide range of applications. Although IPMC actuators are widely studied for their electromechanical properties, most studies have been conducted at the ambient conditions. The electromechanical performance of IPMC actuators at higher temperature is still far from understood. In this study, the effect of temperature ...
متن کاملQuasi-static Positioning of Ionic Polymer-Metal Composite (IPMC) Actuators
Ionic polymer-metal composites (IPMCs) generate large bending motions under a low driving voltage (about 1 V). In this paper quasi-static actuation of IPMC is investigated with the goal of precise positioning. It is found that IPMC exhibits hysteresis between its bending curvature and the applied quasi-static voltage. The Preisach operator is proposed to model the hysteresis, and its density fu...
متن کاملMonolithic fabrication of ionic polymer–metal composite actuators capable of complex deformation
Ionic polymer–metal composites (IPMCs) are soft actuation materials with promising applications in robotics and biomedical devices. However, traditional IPMC actuators can generate the bending motion only. In this paper, a lithography-based approach is presented for monolithic, batch-fabrication of IPMC actuators that are capable of complex deformation. Such an actuator consists of multiple, in...
متن کاملFreeform fabrication of ionomeric polymer-metal composite actuators
Purpose – To seek to produce low-voltage, soft mechanical actuators entirely via freeform fabrication as part of a larger effort to freeform fabricate complete electromechanical devices with lifelike and/or biocompatible geometry and function. Design/methodology/approach – The authors selected ionomeric polymer-metal composite (IPMC) actuators from the literature and the authors’ own preliminar...
متن کاملEfficiency of Swimming Microrobots Using Ionic Polymer Metal Composite Actuators
In this paper, we present a survey of sh-like propulsion at millimeter scale in order to build high eÆciency swimming microrobots. We begin with a mechanical study of the sh-like propulsion. The mechanical model we used shows that undulatory motions are more eÆcient than oscillatory motions. We applied these theoretical results to the design and the realization of a microrobot propelled by the ...
