Ionic polymer-metal composites: I. Fundamentals
Open accessAbstract
This paper, the first in a series of four review papers, presents a brief summary of the fundamental properties and characteristics of ionic polymeric-metal composites (IPMCs) as biomimetic sensors, actuators and artificial muscles. The forthcoming three review papers, to follow this paper, will address in detail such fundamentals and, in particular, manufacturing techniques and the electronic and electromechanical characteristics of IPMCs (part II), the phenomenological modelling of the underlying sensing and actuation mechanisms in IPMCs (part III) and the potential application areas for IPMCs (part IV). This paper is a summary of all recent findings and current state-of-the art manufacturing techniques, phenomenological laws and mechanical and electrical characteristics. A number of methodologies in developing high-force-density IPMCs are also reported.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
