Over the past few decades, flexible sensors have been developed from the “electronic” level
to the “iontronic” level, and gradually to the “ionic” level. Ionic flexible sensors (IFS) are one …

The soft actuators of smart materials have attracted significant attention in recent years due
to their unique functions and distinctive characteristics. The actuators are composed of smart …

Rigid robots have taken on a variety of automated manufacturing tasks and have made a
huge contribution to industrial development; however, they are not suitable for further …

Recently, attempts have been made to develop ionic polymer–metal composite (IPMC),
which is garnering growing interest for ionic artificial muscle, as a soft actuator and sensor …

In this paper, we investigated the effect of dehydration on mechanical and physicochemical
properties of Au (Gold)-and Pd (Palladium)-IPMC using water as solvent. By comparison, the …

The growing concern over low-frequency noise pollution resulting from global
industrialization has posed substantial challenges in noise attenuation. However …

Water-based ionic polymer–metal composites (IPMCs) exhibit complex deformation
properties, especially with decreasing water content. Based on our experimental …

Formation of dendritic interfacial electrodes (DIEs) between metal/polymer interfaces has
high demands in a variety of areas. By combining impregnation electroplating (IEP) step with …

Ionic polymer-metal composites (IPMCs) are typical smart materials that are commonly used
in bionic applications, including soft robots, bionic flap** aircraft, and bionic fish. However …

In this paper, we developed a new kind of ionic polymer metal composite (IPMC) actuator by
