Ionic polymer metal composites (IPMCs) are electroactive polymers (EAPs) that are used as
soft actuators and sensors. Various mechanical or chemical manufacturing techniques, used …

In this paper, we analytically and experimentally study the energy harvesting capability of
submerged ionic polymer metal composites (IPMCs). We consider base excitation of an …

Recent advances in fabricating controlled‐morphology vertically aligned carbon nanotubes
(VA‐CNTs) with ultrahigh volume fraction create unique opportunities for markedly …

In this paper, we analyze underwater energy harvesting from the flutter instability of a heavy
flag hosting an ionic polymer metal composite (IPMC). The heavy flag comprises a highly …

Abstract Poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly (styrenesulfonate), namely, PEDOT: PSS
