Ionic polymer metal composite IPMC are synthetic composite materials that display Artificial Muscle artificial muscle behaviour under an applied voltage. IPMCs are composed of an ionic polymer like Nafion or Proton exchange membrane fuel cell Flemion whose planar surfaces are coated with conductors such as platinum or gold. Under an applied voltage 1 5 V , ion migration and electrostatic repulsion result in a bending actuation. IPMCs are a type of Electroactive polymers electroactive polymer . Alternately, IPMCs act as a smart material , as applying a mechanical force to the substance will result in a proportional voltage being applied onto the surface. Bending actuators have seen limited application due to integration into larger devices or stronger actuators. Other limitations include the requirement to maintain ion mobility through hydration or other fluids. Higher voltages result in larger actuations, but voltages above 1.23V will result in electrolysis of water, limiting the useful voltage range.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Orphan date December 2009 A total ionic strength adjustment buffer TISAB is a buffer solution which increases the ionic strength of a solution to a relatively high level. This is important for potentiometry potentiometric measurements, including ion selective electrode s, because they measure the activity chemistry activity of the analyte rather than its concentration. TISAB essentially masks most chemical interferences in the analyte solution and hence increases the accuracy of the reading. Theory TISAB is very commonly applied to fluoride ion analysis such as in fluoride ion selective electrodes. There are four main constituents to TISAB, namely CDTA cyclohexylenedinitrilotetraacetate , sodium hydroxide, sodium chloride and acetic acid ethanoic acid , which are all dissolved in deionised water. Hence, TISAB having a density 1.0 kg L. Each constituent plays an important role to control the ionic strength and pH of the analyte solution, which may otherwise cause error and inaccuracy. The activity of a substance in solution depends on the product of its concentration and the activity coefficient in that solution. The activity coefficient depends on the ionic strength of the solution in which the potentiometric measurements are made. This can be calculated for dilute solutions using the Debye H ckel equation for more concentrated solutions other approximations must be used. In most cases, the analyst s goal is simply to make sure that the activity ... the concentration of the analyte in sea water high ionic strength , significant error is introduced ... sample. This can be avoided by adding a small amount of ionic strength buffer to the standards, so that the activity coefficients match more closely.
