“…However, the maximum force generated at the tip of the cantilever under a given voltage of 1.2 V rms is of the general ballpark order of the ones generated with counter-ions; Li + Na + > (K + , Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , and Ba 2+ ) > (H + , TBA, and TMA). This fact was observed for both Nafion TM -based IPMC and Flemion TMbased IPMC [19]. In the set of Li + , Na + and K + , one should realize that Li + is undoubtedly the smallest bare ion in the set (its radius, r [Li + ] < r [Na + ] < r [K + ]) but it has the lowest mobility (the drag to its motion through the solution, [20,21,28,29].…”

This paper, the second in a series of four review papers to appear in this journal, presents a detailed description of various techniques and experimental procedures in manufacturing ionic polymer-metal composites (IPMCs) that, if fully developed, can be used as effective biomimetic sensors, actuators and artificial muscles as well as fully electroded with embedded electrodes for fuel cells. The performance of IPMCs manufactured by different manufacturing techniques are presented and compared. In particular, a number of issues such as force optimization using the Taguchi design of experiment technique, effects of different cations on electromechanical performance of IPMCs, electrode and particle size and distribution control, manufacturing cost minimization approaches, scaling and three-dimensional (3D) muscle production issues and heterogeneous composites by physical loading techniques are also reviewed and discussed.

“…Two similar works were presented by Noh et al 27,28 In their first work, 29 a large-surface Nafion-based IPMC actuator was prepared, and the EIS was used to analyze the ion migration capacity of six different cations (H + , Li + , Na + , K + , Mg 2+ , and Ca 2+ ) on the device performance. The Bode response of impedance analysis suggests that, for monovalent cations, the lowfrequency resistance is higher for Li + when compared to others.…”

“…Using EIS to model the frequency responses of IPMC sensors was the focus of Takagi et al 29 The authors investigated using an IPMC comprised of Nafion 117 and gold electrodes with two different counter ions exchanged: Na + and TEA + (tetraethylammonium). They did five gold plating instead of the standard single plating in an unusual approach, creating a large conductor surface area, a convenient path to study sensing materials.…”

This paper presents a description and a set of experimental results on Ionic Polymer‐Metal Composites (IPMC's) as dynamic sensors, transducers, and actuators. Strips of IPMC can exhibit large dynamic deformation if placed in a time‐varying electric field of the order of 10's of volts/mm. Conversely, dynamic deformation and flexing of such ionic polymers produces dynamic electric fields that closely follow the form of the electric signal. The underlying principle of such a mechanoelectric effect in IPMC's can be explained by the linear irreversible thermodynamics in which ion and solvent transport are the fluxes and electric field and solvent pressure gradient are the forces. Important parameters include the material conductance and the solvent permeability. The dynamic sensing, transduction, and actuation responses of a strip of IPMC under an impact‐type loading is also discussed. When a cantilever strip of IPMC is flipped, a damped oscillatory electric response is produced across a pair of electrodes placed at the cantilever of the strip, which is highly repeatable with a broad frequency range above 104 Hz. Such direct mechanoelectric responses of IMPC's are related to the endo‐ionic mobility due to stresses imposed. Imposition of a finite solvent flux without allowing a current flux causes the material to create a certain conjugate electric field that can be dynamically monitored and measured. IPMC's are shown to be highly capacitive at low frequencies while they are highly resistive under high frequency excitations. IN a sending mode, IPMC strips can also sense chemical environments and humidity. These types of sensors/transducers/actuators conceivably can replace piezoresistive and piezoelectric sensors with just one sensor for broad ranges of frequencies.
