Please give me information on:

Mechanism of IPMC working?

Maximum operating frequency of IPMC actuator?

Why does IPMC need wet environment for its operation?

Does gold coating on Pt IPMC help in its better functioning?

Hi, Mridula

You may want to read Dr. Shaninpoor's review papers about IPMC. You will find the answers for all these questions.

Cheers
