Abstract

Ionic polymer metal composite (IPMC) transducers, as one of the typical electroactive polymers with excellent electromechanical coupling properties, have tremendous potential to achieve high-performance actuators and sensors for flexible electronic and soft robotics. In this survey, after briefly de...
