A 3D analytical ion transport model for ionic polymer metal composite actuators in large bending deformations

Abstract Ionic polymer metal composites (IPMCs) are a kind of soft electroactive polymer composites. An IPMC strip commonly has a thin polymer membrane coated with a noble metal as electrodes on both sides. Whenever an electric voltage is applied to the IPMC, it bends and whenever it is deformed, a...

description Abstract Ionic polymer metal composites (IPMCs) are a kind of soft electroactive polymer composites. An IPMC strip commonly has a thin polymer membrane coated with a noble metal as electrodes on both sides. Whenever an electric voltage is applied to the IPMC, it bends and whenever it is deformed, a low voltage is measurable between its electrodes, hence IPMC is an actuator as well as a sensor. They are well known for their promising features like low density, lightness, high toughness and remarkable stimulus strain, also, they have the potential for low-voltage operation while exhibiting acceptable large bending deformation. In this paper, a three-dimensional (3D), dynamic and physics-based model is presented analytically and experimentally for IPMC actuators. The model combines the ion transport dynamics within the IPMC and the bending dynamics of it as a beam under an electrical stimulation. In particular, we present an analytical model to create a relation between the input voltage and the output tip displacement of an IPMC actuator for large bending deformations. Experimental results show that the proposed model captures well the tip displacement.
