Comparative analysis of properties in two ionic polymer metal composites using different base film
Ionic Polymer Metal Composites (IPMCs) are advanced composites, where a conductive metal is deposited on an ion-exchange membrane, enabling actuation akin to muscle movement in bionic systems. The choice of ion-exchange membrane as the matrix significantly influences IPMC performance. This study compares two types of membranes in IPMC fabrication, assessing their displacement and deformation characteristics. The analysis shows an elliptic parabolic surface deformation for both. However, IPMCs fabricated with nafion117 exhibit enhanced stability in actuation, outperforming the alternative in displacement and current response.
