Focusing on various surface electrode effects on electromechanical properties of biopolymer actuator: ionic polymer metal composites (IPMC), a new laminated structure model, composed with the electrolyte layer, the middle layer and the surface electrode layer, is provided to redefine the composition of IPMC actuator. A failure analysis is performed to study the failure reasons of IPMC actuator. Subsequently, based on various surface electrode of IPMC actuator, the electromechanical properties were further investigated by comparison with the chemical plating samples and the electrophoretic deposition sample. Finally, after the analysis of the morphology characteristics, the improvement mechanism of the various surface electrodes is obtained to further clarify. Results find the electromechanical properties of IPMC actuator is closely attributed to the electrical conductivity of the surface electrode.

Ionic electroactive polymer (iEAP) actuators with ionic liquid (IL) electrolytes are distinguished by their ability to operate in ambient air with an enhanced lifetime. This chapter reports the developments in iEAP actuator technologies for several applications, with a particular focus on the use of conducting polymers (CPs). CPs have attracted attention because of their promising electronic, optical and electromechanical properties. These smart materials are characterized by their possible dimensional changes due to the migration or diffusion of ions upon electrochemical oxidation or reduction processes. In an adequate ionic conducting medium, CPs can be used as the active component in actuators and lead to interesting potential applications, including soft robotics, prosthetic devices, microsystems and medical devices. This chapter starts with an overview of existing iEAP actuators. CP actuation mechanisms and configurations are explained in detail, and existing and potential applications are discussed, emphasizing the benefits of using ionic liquids (high ionic conductivity, non-volatility, larger electrochemical window and biocompatibility). Finally, to conclude, the future developments and challenges in this area are discussed.
