Abstract :
In this paper, we describe evaluation results of operating characteristics of Ionic Polymer-Metal Composite (IPMC) with ionic liquids. This actuator has a feature of large displacement under low driving voltage drive, although its generation power was small. We prepared IPMC by incorporating ion liquid into it and evaluated moving performance in water. The performance has been improved compared to IPMC with alkali metallic ion.
