Ionic Polymer-Polymer Composites (IP2Cs) are electro-active polymers which can be used both as sensors and as actuators. In this paper IP2Cs, used as actuators, and with water as the solvent, are modeled. Starting from some previous results regarding modeling of Ionic Polymer Metal Composites (IPMCs) and of IP2Cs themselves, using ethylene glycol (EG) as the solvent, linear and nonlinear black-box models have been identified from experimental data for IP2C actuators. Moreover, models proposed here take into account the dependence of IP2C actuators behavior on environmental temperature and humidity as relevant modifying inputs.

Abstract
Ionic Polymer-Polymer Composites (IP2Cs) are electro-active polymers which can be used both as sensors and as actuators. In this paper IP2Cs, used as actuators, and with water as the solvent, are modeled. Starting from some previous results regarding modeling of Ionic Polymer Metal Composites (IPMCs) and of IP2Cs themselves, using ethylene glycol (EG) as the solvent, linear and nonlinear black-box models have been identified from experimental data for IP2C actuators. Moreover, models proposed here take into account the dependence of IP2C actuators behavior on environmental temperature and humidity as relevant modifying inputs.File in questo prodotto:
