“…With the rapid development of science and technology, the demand for intelligent and miniaturized materials is increasing gradually, the performance of intelligent materials has CONTACT Dongsheng Zhang zds@xjtu.edu.cn School of Mechanical Engineering, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an 710049, China a higher requirement. Since the introduction of smart materials in the 1980s, to the present fourth generation of materials, smart materials have gradually become the development object of key cutting-edge new materials technology [1]. Ionic polymermetal composite (IPMC), as one of the new smart polymer materials, with the characteristics of low voltage and large deformation, has been widely concerned [2,3], and have been applied in artificial muscles, bionic robots, aerospace equipment, bioengineering, flexible mechanical brakes, medical instruments, and other fields [4][5][6].…”
