Abstract
Ionomeric Polymer-Metal Composites (IPMCs) are smart materials, which have a metal/polymer/metal sandwich-like structure and are capable to deform in response to electrical stimuli and vice versa. In addition, they have low density, flexibility, lightness, biocompatibility and low drive voltage. Therefore, they are promising materials for a wide range of applications, such as actuators, s…

Abstract
IPMC's (Ionomeric Polymer-Metal Composites) are electroactive materials composed of a polymer membrane with high ionic conductivity between metal electrodes, and are able to modify their shape and/or size in response to an electric stimulus. For this reason, they present great potential to be used as mechanical actuators with movements and characteristics similar to biological muscles ("a…

Abstract
Ionomeric polymer-metal composites (IPMCs) are smart and bio-inspired materials with a metal/electroactive-polymer/metal sandwich-type structure and can deform in response to electrical stimuli and vice versa. Electroactive polymers (EAP) provide lightweight and cost-effective materials that enable the next generation of electromechanical devices. Commercial polymers have historically dom…
