Ionic Polymer Metal Composites (IPMCs): Smart Multi-Functional Materials and Artificial Muscles, Volume 1 (Smart Materials Series, 17)

Ionic polymer metal composites (IPMCs) are an important type of smart material. The robotic material is controllable under low voltage and is used in sensing, energy harvesting, actuation and artificial muscles. The set will provide an introduction to the field and provide detailed information of the characteristics and applications of the materials. Edited by a leading authority on IPMCs, the broad coverage will appeal to researchers from chemistry, materials, engineering, physics and medical communities interested in both the material and the applications.
