Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ionic polymer metal composites (IPMCs) can generate a voltage when physically deformed. Conversely, an applied small voltage or electrical field can induce an array of spectacular large deformation or actuation behaviours in IPMCs, such as bending, twisting, rolling, twirling, steering and undulating. An important smart material, IPMCs have applications in energy harvesting and as self-powered strain or deformation sensors, they are especially suitable for monitoring the shape of dynamic structures. Other uses include soft actuation applications and as a material for biomimetic robotic soft artificial muscles in industrial and medical contexts. This comprehensive volume on ionic polymer metal composites provides a broad coverage of the state of the art and recent advances in the field written by some of the world’s leading experts on various characterizations and modeling of IPMCs. Topics covered in this two volume set include uses in electrochemically active electrodes, electric energy storage devices, soft biomimetic robotics artificial muscles, multiphysics modeling of IPMCs, biomedical applications, IPMCs as dexterous manipulators and tactile sensors for minimally invasive robotic surgery, self-sensing, miniature pumps for drug delivery, IPMC snake-like robots, IPMC microgrippers for microorganisms manipulations, Graphene-based IPMCs and cellulose-based IPMCs or electroactive paper actuators (EAPap). Edited by the leading authority on IMPCs, the broad coverage will appeal to researchers from chemistry, materials, engineering, physics and medical communities interested in both the material and its applications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ionic polymer-metal composite (IPMC) is a new practical engineering material that has a wide range of capabilities in both dry and liquid environments. IPMCs are refarded as capable actuators. They possess unique combination of electrochemical and mechanical properties, but, some behaviors, such as back-relaxation, restrain their use. There have been several attempts to understand and model the IPMCs properties. Yet, till now, it seems that the dehydration and back-relaxation have not been modeled properly. A mathematical model called the Nernst-Planck-Poisson equation (NPP) was chosen as the starting model in identifying the IPMC behavior. Then, the model was modified so it can truly account for the back-relaxation effects that occur in IPMCs. Verification using finite element methods confirmed the validity of the NPP system of equations to model the ion exchange that occurs within the IPMCS. The model modification used captured data from the experimental work using samples that were produced using a new and optimized method to manufacture IPMC. The new method showed decrease in production time and cost along with better actuation performance. The modified analytical NPP (Nernst-Planck-Poisson) model was verified using Matlab & Simulink, which showed that the model, and the controller design for it, was able to first compensate for the loss of position of the IPMC due to back-relaxation, and then track the desired position input signals with great accuracy. The model and the designed controller can be used in various mechatronic applications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis describes the open-loop behavior of an ionic polymer metal composite (IPMC) strip as a novel actuator, the empirical force and position models, the control system and the improved dynamic characteristics with the feedback control implemented. Ionic polymer metal composite is a novel polymer in the class of electroactive polymers. IPMC consists of a base polymer coated with electrodes made up of highly conducting pure metals such as gold. The actuation behavior of IPMC can be attributed to the bending of an IPMC strip upon application of voltage across its thickness. The main reasons for the bending are ion migration on the application of voltage and swelling and contraction caused by water content. An experimental setup to study the open-loop force and tip displacement of an IPMC strip in a cantilever configuration was developed, and real time controllers were implemented. In open loop, the force response of the IPMC strip of dimensions 25 mm x 3.9 mm x 0.16 mm to a 1.2-V step input is studied. The open-loop rise time was 0.08 s and the percent overshoot was 131.62 %, while the settling time was about 10 s. Based on this open-loop step response using a least-square curve-fitting methodology, a fourth-order empirical transfer function from the voltage input to the force output was derived. The tip displacement response of an IPMC strip of dimensions 23 mm x 3.96 mm x 0.16 mm to a 1.2-V step input was also studied. The step response exhibited a 205.34 % overshoot with a rise time of 0.08 s, and the settling time was 27 s. A fourth-order empirical transfer function from the step input to the tip displacement as output was also derived. Based on the derived transfer functions lead-lag feedback controllers were designed for precision control of both force and displacement. The control objectives were to decrease the settling time and the percent overshoot, and achieve reference input tracking. After implementing the controllers, the percent overshoot decreased to 30% while the settling time was reduced to 1.5 s in case of force control. With position control, the settling time was reduced to 1 s while the percent overshoot decreased to 20%. Precision micro-scale force and position-control capabilities of the IPMC were also demonstrated. A 4 [mu]N force resolution was achieved, with a force noise of 0.904-[mu]N rms. The position resolution was 20 [mu]m with a position noise of 7.6-[mu]m rms.

A comparison of the uniformity of the electrode plating obtained from the different processes is studied while the research also concentrates on making use of different ionic solutions to change the anions within the polymer membrane for comparison such as to determine the most suited ion content with in the solid electrolyte for effective IPMC. This new functionally graded material is tested for its bending deformation, blocking force and the current consumptions to prove the electromechanical properties of this smart composite actuator based on its actuation under different electric excitations, we can draw conclusions subsequently form results of the comparison.
