Developing next generation ionic polymer–metal composite materials: perspectives for enabling robotics and biomimetics

Abstract: In this article, we present recent advancements in Ionic Polymer-Metal Composite (IPMC) technology. The current trajectory of the research shows immense promise for a future with highly capable IPMC actuators and sensors being used in a wide range of robotic, soft-robotic, and biomimetic technologies..

“…Similarly, the use of integrated sensors for the defense to diffuse arsenal after sensing its remote presence is another important area. Thus, the flexibility of chemical modification in macromolecule to design multi-functionality for wide range sensing and control the atmospheric as well as to enrich other significant branches of science and engineering like robotics [ 125 , 126 ]. Some other proposed focus area for integrated sensors is controlled delivery in agriculture and biomedical, précised controlled and action in robotics, demining in controlled of terrorism and security for futuristic efforts in sensing sciences.…”

“…In the present study, ionic polymer–metal composite (IPMC), one of the most optimal and novel biological classes of the EAPs [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ], was used as an artificial muscle (a soft-active actuator) with two different mechanisms to restore eyelid movement following ptosis. IPMCs have higher repeatability and more biocompatibility with lower required voltage as compared to other EAP classes for working in a wet biological condition [ 21 , 22 ].…”

“…[6][7][8][9] A well-known example of ion-exchange membranes are ionic polymer-metal composites (IPMCs), which typically consist of a cation-exchange membrane chemically plated with a noble metal, such as gold or platinum. [7,10,11] Following the application of an electric voltage between the surface electrodes, IPMCs display macroscopic bending deformations. [12] Vice versa, a mechanical load applied to an IPMC results in a measurable voltage across its electrodes.…”
