“…A novel ionic polymer–metal composite can be fabricated by adding multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in Nafion solution [ 65 ]. By conducting experiments, it was found that the resistance of the modified MWCNTs/IPMC is much lower than that of the conventional IPMC material.…”

As a new type of flexible smart material, ionic polymer-metal composite (IPMC) has the advantages of being lightweight and having fast responses, good flexibility, and large deformation ranges. However, IPMC has the disadvantages of a small driving force and short lifespan. Based on this, this paper firstly analyzes the driving mechanism of IPMC. Then, it focuses on the current preparation technology of IPMC from the aspects of electroless plating and mechanical plating. The advantages and disadvantages of various preparation methods are analyzed. Due to the special driving mechanism of IPMC, there is a problem of short non-aqueous working time. Therefore, the modification research of IPMC is reviewed from the aspects of the basement membrane, working medium, and electrode materials. Finally, the current challenges and future development prospects of IPMC are discussed.

“…Researchers have incorporated MWCNTs into the membrane, enhancing the intensity of the ion exchange membrane. In 2015 [14], Hao doped MWCNTs in a Nafon solution, creating a new type of MWCNT/IPMC material. Te IPMC's resistance was signifcantly reduced, and the maximum output force compared with the traditional IPMC increased by 14.84%, making IPMCs more suitable in the feld of medical and industrial applications.…”

With the development of bionics and marine science, a new artificial muscle material, IPMC (ion-exchange polymer metal composite), has attracted significant attention. However, the performance issues, as well as problems associated with the preparation of IPMC, have limited its development. In this study, we use the freeze-drying technique, successfully creating a new type of enhanced carbon nanotube IPMC material. Moreover, we also use the method of cyclic voltammetry, ac impedance, and the constant current charge and discharge method to analyze and evaluate the multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-reinforced IPMC produced by freeze-drying technology. Freeze-dried IPMC has a higher moisture content, which is 1.58 times higher than that of ordinary IPMC. The pore and multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) in the ion exchange membrane are distributed more homogeneously. The technology prepared by IPMC has superior electrical performance. Under a 2 v scanning interval and a scanning speed of 50 mV/s, its specific capacitance can reach 247.5335 mF/cm−2, which is 24 times that of normal IPMC. Under the same conditions, its conductivity can reach 0.29391 mS/cm, far higher than that of ordinary IPMC. Furthermore, the preparation process is also safer. This method provides a new strategy for the future preparation and usage of IPMC.

“…5,9 Among these ionic polymers, Naon has gained particular attention because of its excellent chemical resistance, a higher working temperature as compared to other polymers and high ion conductivity. [3][4][5][7][8][9][10][11] Many studies have been carried out to improve the performance of IPMC actuators using Naon composites or other polymers, including carbon materials such as graphene, 12,13 multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), 14,15 and oxide particles such as BaTiO 3 . 16 The polymers investigated to replace Naon include kraton, 17 poly-vinylidene uoride (PVDF)/polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP)/polystyrene sulfuric acid (PSSA) 18 and a series of sulfonated polysulfone (SPSU).…”
