Abstract

A new ionomeric polymer-metal composite (IPMC) was prepared using a cast membrane of acrylic copolymer, which was synthesized by radical copolymerization of fluoroalkyl acrylate and acrylic acid (AA). To examine its performance as a new electroactive polymer, the current and displacement responses to a step voltage applied across the IPMC were measured. The largest responses were observed when the AA content in the copolymer was $10.6\;wt\%$.
