摘要：

IPMC (Ionic Polymer Metal Composite) is a promising candidate actuator for bio-related applications mainly due to its biocompatibility, soft properties and operation in wet condition. The widely used and commercialized ion-exchange polymer film has limitation in thicknesses, but more various film thicknesses are required for extensive applications. Especially for the enhanced force as an actuator, acquisition of thick film is essential. Various ion-exchange polymer films with thickness of 0.4-1.2 mm have been prepared by casting of liquid ion-exchange polymer. As well, IPMC actuators using cast ion-exchange polymer films have been fabricated and the basic mechanical characteristics such as stiffness, displacement and force were measured and analyzed. These results can be used for the optimized design of actuators for different applications.
