Abstract
As a new intelligent material, IPMC (Ionic polymer-metal composite) can be driven under low voltage with large deformation, and has been widely used in biomedical and robotic systems. Traditional IPMC testing system is bulky, high cost, and inconvenient to use. In order to achieve the portability and convenience of the IPMC testing system, a small and low-cost IPMC tester was designed. The power supply and control system of the tester were integrated into an IPMC electrode clamp. The main research work included control system circuit design, electrode clamp and overall exterior design. The displacement measurement results showed that the design for the IPMC tester was correct and feasible.
