An investigation of multimodal sensing capabilities of ionic polymer-metal composites

Abstract: This paper presents the novel multimodal sensing capabilities of ionic polymer metal composites (IPMCs) for measuring linear and rotational deformations. Two IPMC samples with Gold (Au) and black Platinum (Pt) electrodes were manufactured, and their responses under twisting and axial compression/tension were investigated. To perform consistent and rigorous experiments to study the multimodal sensing capabilities of the IPMC samples, an experimental test bed was developed that enabled the application of twistin… Show more

“…The multimodal sensing capabilities of IPMCs have recently been demonstrated, wherein IPMC sensors have been shown as effective detectors of torsional twisting and axial extension or compression. 12 Furthermore, the IPMC was capable of responding to these deformation mechanisms simultaneously. Pairs of deformation inputs were superimposed and the IPMC shows distinct responses to this multimodal input.…”

“…Ionic polymer metal composite (IPMC) is one class of electroactive materials integrating actuation and sensing functions [1][2][3], which is widely used in the field of underwater propeller [4], micro gripper [5] and ionic sensing [6][7][8][9]. As shown in figure 1(a), a typical IPMC consists of an ionomeric layer (usually Nafion) and two metal electrodes to form a sandwich structure.…”

“…Ionic polymer-metal composites (IPMCs) are electroactive polymers that are often utilized as soft actuators in a broad range of applications, from biomedical engineering to soft robotics [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Beyond their classical use as soft actuators, new and upcoming studies are exploring their potential as precision sensors and energy harvesting devices; see for example the recent review study [9] and recent studies since then [7,8,[10][11][12]]. An IPMC is comprised of a hydrated ionomeric membrane sandwiched between two metal electrodes [13].…”
