N2 - When an electrocatalyst, platinum, was coated on ionic-polymer gel surfaces and was immersed into an acidic formaldehyde solution, an input dc current will produce oscillatory ac on the surfaces of the ionic-polymer-metal- composites(IPMC), which eventually causes self-oscillatory bending of the actuators. Typical IPMC actuators have a large length-to-height ratio, exhibiting large deformation during bending and relaxation processes. A multiphysics modeling of self-oscillations of IPMC actuator was carried out, incorporating the electrochemical oscillations, electrokinetics, electrostatics and nonlinear large deformation of the actuators.
