Download or read book Ionic Polymer Metal Composites IPMCs written by Mohsen Shahinpoor and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2015-11-19 with total page 454 pages. 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 field of electroactive polymers (EAPs) is rapidly growing. These materials are being scouted for use as linear actuators, specifically in the areas of artificial muscle design, and also for use as biomimetic sensors. IPMCs, or ionic polymer metal composites, are a form of EAP that are being proposed for application in both of these fields. IPMCs are composed of a solvated ionic EAP sandwiched between two metal electrodes. In the literature, there are a wealth of conceptual designs and data related to the use of IPMCs as actuators. However, sufficient data and characterization related to their use as sensors is grossly deficient. This research aims to rectify the gap between the theoretical concept of using these materials for sensing and actual proof of concept by quantifying voltage responses due to small force inputs in various electrolytes (LiCl, NiCl2, NiSO4, and De-Ionized water.) Two different load profiles were implemented to evaluate the voltage response to a continuous input, to assess the feasibility of using IPMCs as a precision sensor, and to a cyclical input, to assess the feasibility of using IPMCs as a simpler binary sensor. Normal and reversed polarity voltage profiles were also collected to quantify the reversibility of the material response. Results from the study showed that the IPMCs showed a reversible response in all liquids tested. The results also showed that the response of the materials in LiCl was the least sensitive, but showed good repeatability, while the response in NiCl2 exhibited the greatest sensitivity, but the worst repeatability. The response in NiSO4 was slightly more sensitive than in LiCl and only slightly less repeatable, but the materials in NiSO4 demonstrated an almost completely reversible response. Interestingly, the response in DI water was only slightly less sensitive than in NiCl2 and results obtained using DI water demonstrated the feasibility of developing an IPMC sensor using DI water as the electrolyte. Overall, the data shows that regardless of the electrolyte of choice, IPMCs demonstrate a repeatable response to a force input and show promise for either precision or 'binary' tactile sensors."--Abstract.

This book was released on 1994 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need for improved acoustic sensing in adverse applications such as medical and underwater imaging has led to the research of acoustic sensor materials other than the traditional ceramic materials such as PZT and LiNiO3. Polymer composite materials offer a potential solution to this need by aiming to combine the desirable properties of ceramics, such as high transmission coefficient and high electro-mechanical coupling, with the preferable features of polymers, such as close acoustic matching to biological tissue and wide bandwidth. The present work investigates two polymer composite materials that seek to integrate the desirable qualities of ceramic and polymer materials. The first of the materials investigated, PIEZEL, is a composite material in which the ceramic PZT is embedded in a matrix formed by the polymer PVDF. The components of the other composite, PIEZOFLEX 1, are PZT and a proprietary epoxy. In order to assess the dynamic response of these composite materials, the electric, piezoelectric and elastic properties of the materials have been determined. The mechanical integrity of the materials have been evaluated using Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis (DMTA) techniques and figures for frequency and temperature dependence of the elastic modulus and mechanical loss factor are presented. The electronic circuitry employed in ultrasonic systems is rarely described in the literature making the reproduction of experiments difficult. Detailed description of the development of the circuits necessary to make the transducers operative is given here. In order to evaluate the behaviour of the materials under varying transducer configurations, several linear transducer arrays with up to 32 elements have been designed and developed employing different architectures such as corona poled arrays, slotted arrays and monolithic PCB arrays. Results obtained with these transducers, in the form of back-scattered images from simple target objects, prove that these composite materials hold the potential to be successfully employed in more complex imaging applications.
