---|---|---|
Ionic Polymer Metal Composites (IPMCs) have tremendous potential in the field of soft robotics, but their applications are currently limited by the restraints of the fabrication process. This paper introduces a fabrication method that produces thinner 3D structures, which is advantageous for use in micro soft robots. In this study, a honeycomb structured IPMC actuator was fabricated through 3D printing with dispersion liquid that utilizes water and propanol as a solvent. The frequency response of the prototype was measured to evaluate the fabricated microstructure and the results show that the proposed method to manufacture IPMC actuators with microstructures was successful. |
