Abstract

ABSTRACT In this paper, we have studied the actuation performance of Ionic Polymer Metal Composite based actuator (IPMC) in the artificial blood analogue fluid medium. The fluid used in this study was transparent and made from readily available materials. This study can be useful for testing the actuation behavior of IPMC by forming an in-vitro hemodynamic environment for treating different cardiovascular diseases. IPMC electrodes fabricated by a standard electroless deposition process. A rectangular strip of 35 mm length and 2 mm width was used for actuation testing under 0–5 V DC. Actuation results show fairly effective results in a fluid environment for repetitive measurements.
