Smart systems adapt to the surrounding environments in a number of ways. They are capable to scavenge energy from available sources, sense and elaborate external stimuli and adequately react. Electro Active Polymers are playing a main role in the realization of smart systems for applications if fields such as bio inspired and autonomous robotics, medicine, and aerospace. This paper focus on the possibility to use Ionic Polymer Metal Composites as a class of materials relevant to the realization of post silicon smart systems. The three main aspects of this new technology, i.e., fabrication methods, modeling, and applications are described with emphasis to most recent results. Attention is given to main challenges and shortcomings to be solved for technology, modelling, and control of IPMC based devices that need to be solved before this new technology can be fully exploited in real world applications.

“…Patterns of a conjugated polymer were deposited on the ionomeric membrane to introduce regions with selective ion permeability to manipulate deformation. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) was used in fabrication of patterns because of its high conductivity and facile processing [ 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 ]. Dependence of deformation on the patterns of conjugated polymers is studied as well as morphological asymmetry in patterns and their influence on the cationic and anionic deformations.…”

Soft Ionic Electroactive Polymer Actuators with Tunable Non-Linear Angular Deformation

The most rational approach to fabricate soft robotics is the implementation of soft actuators. Conventional soft electromechanical actuators exhibit linear or circular deformation, based on their design. This study presents the use of conjugated polymers, Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) to locally vary ion permeability of the ionic electroactive polymer actuators and manipulate ion motion through means of structural design to realize intrinsic angular deformation. Such angular deformations are closer to biomimetic systems and have potential applications in bio-robotics. Electrochemical studies reveal that the mechanism of actuation is mainly associated with the charging of electric double layer (EDL) capacitors by ion accumulation and the PEDOT:PSS layer’s expansion by ion interchange and penetration. Dependence of actuator deformation on structural design is studied experimentally and conclusions are verified by analytical and finite element method modeling. The results suggest that the ion-material interactions are considerably dominated by the design of the drop-cast PEDOT:PSS on Nafion.

“…It was used widely used as outer electrodes to develop some all-organic transducers [160,161,162,163,164,165,166]. As fully explored in our previous work, actuator with similar constitution initially bends toward the anode and as the time progresses, it reverses the actuation direction and bends toward the cathode [13,40,38,4,39].…”
