Motreuil-Ragot, P.A. (author), Hunt, A. (author), Sacco, L.N. (author), Sarro, Pasqualina M (author), Mastrangeli, Massimo (author)Ionic polymer metal composites (IPMCs) are a class of materials with a rising appeal in biological micro-electromechanical systems (bio-MEMS) due to their unique properties (low voltage output, bio-compatibility, affinity with ionic medium). While tailoring and improving actuation capabilities of IPMCs is a key motivator in almost all IPMC...journal article 2023

Mohd Isa, W.H.B. (author), Hunt, A. (author), Hassan HosseinNia, S. (author)Limitations of conventional actuators and sensors in small-scaled and complex devices have diverted the researches' attentions towards smart material transducers such as ionic polymer-metal composites (IPMCs). In addition to actuation capabilities, IPMCs generate voltage when subjected to mechanical deformation. Utilization of IPMCs as...conference paper 2020

Mohd Isa, W.H.B. (author), Hunt, A. (author), Hassan HosseinNia, S. (author)Ionic polymer–metal composites (IPMC) are smart material transducers that bend in response to low-voltage stimuli and generate voltage in response to bending. IPMCs are mechanically compliant, simple in construction, and easy to cut into desired shape. This allows the designing of novel sensing and actuation systems, e.g., for soft and bio...review 2019
