Compared to conventional actuators, the soft ionic polymer–metal composite (IPMC) actuator has significant advantages in specific applications, and the mathematical model of IPMC actuators is essential to comprehending and applying IPMCs. Due to the inherent characteristics of IPMCs and the impact of the manufacturing and measurement processes, it is challenging to developa reliable model. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the developments in IPMC actuator modeling. In particular, three types of models are examined and contrasted: the nonphysical identification model, the partial‐physical model, and the physical‐based model. In order to comprehend the current state of numerous IPMC actuator models, the characteristics, evolution, and functions of each type of model are discussed. Afterward, the evolution of the IPMC actuators’ applications is discussed. Finally, promising research directions for IPMC actuator models are identified that can more effectively facilitate the development of IPMC‐based devices.

“…The flexibility affects the actuating durability of the actuator. [28] For another thing, metal electrode materials usually include precious metals such as Palladium (Pd), [29,30] Platinum (Pt), [31][32][33] Argentum (Ag), [34] and Aurum (Au), [35][36][37] which are deposited on both sides of the polymer film by methods such as electroless plating, electroplating, sputter deposition, and solution casting. [38][39][40][41][42] Due to its excellent conductivity, the surface resistance can be reduced and better driving performance can be obtained.…”

With the rapid development of autonomous and intelligent devices driven by soft actuators, ion soft actuators in flexible intelligent devices have several advantages over other actuators, including their light weight, low voltage drive, large strain, good flexibility, fast response, etc. Traditional ionic polymer metal composites have received a lot of attention over the past decades, but they suffer from poor driving performance and short service lives since the precious metal electrodes are not only expensive, heavy, and labor‐intensive, but also prone to cracking with repeated actuation. As excellent candidates for the electrode materials of ionic soft actuators, carbon‐based nanomaterials have received a lot of interest because of their plentiful reserves, low cost, and excellent mechanical, electrical, and electrochemical properties. This research reviewed carbon‐based nanomaterial electrodes of ion soft actuators for flexible smart devices from a fresh perspective from 1D to 3D combinations. The design of the electrode structure is introduced after the driving mechanism of ionic soft actuators. The details of ionic soft actuator electrodes made of carbon‐based nanomaterials are then provided. Additionally, a summary of applications for flexible intelligent devices is provided. Finally, suggestions for challenges and prospects are made to offer direction and inspiration for further development.

Ionic polymer metal composites (IPMC) with dendritic interfacial electrodes (DIEs) have attracted attention in recent years due to their excellent actuation performance. Although considerable efforts have been made to develop aggregation models of metal particles for the electrode formation of IPMC, there are few reports to simulate the growth of DIEs inside IPMC. In this work, we proposed an electrode model based on diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) method to simulate the growth process of DIEs inside IPMC by referring their preparation parameters and morphology characteristics. Meanwhile, the effects of immersion reduction (IR) cycles, immersion electroplating (IEP) time, IEP cycles, current intensity and voltage amplitude on the morphology and microstructure of DIEs inside IPMC were studied. It was found that the depth and the density of DIEs inside IPMC gradually increased with the increase of IR cycles, IEP time and IEP cycles. However, the growth depth of DIEs inside IPMC decreased significantly with the increase of current intensity. In addition, the voltage amplitude has little effect on the DIEs. This model is of great significance to the study of the formation mechanism of IPMC with DIEs.
