Abstract
Ionic Polymer Metal Composites or IPMCs are innovative materials, light and soft, that show very interesting electromechanical properties to be used in several fields of research, such as robotics, measurements, biomedics. In this paper details on IPMCs will be given: from their state of the art to their modeling and characterization; tools and equipments, designed and realized to perform measurements on the IPMCs will be presented.
