Abstract

This systematic review examines the preparation and encapsulation processes for Ionic Polymer-Metal Composites (IPMCs) and evaluates methods for suppressing their characteristic hysteresis and creep. The analysis investigates the relationship between various base membrane and electrode preparation techniques, including their optimization approaches, and the resulting mechanical properties of IPMCs. Additionally, the review categorizes and compares conventional encapsulation techniques according to their fundamental processes and application scenarios. Persistent hysteresis and creep phenomena have significantly constrained the long-term development of IPMCs. While classical modeling approaches have been applied to address these issues, they often fall short in effectively characterizing IPMC behavior. Recently, data-driven methodologies, particularly deep learning techniques, have emerged as promising alternatives for improving modeling accuracy of IPMC hysteresis and creep. Accordingly, this review compiles and analyzes current data-driven suppression methods. The paper concludes with insights into future development pathways for IPMCs within smart materials and soft robotics applications. By synthesizing existing research, this work provides a comprehensive foundation to advance IPMC technology and enhance its practical performance capabilities.

离子聚合物-金属复合材料的制备、封装和迟滞蠕变减缓：综述

本系统综述了离子聚合物-金属复合材料（IPMCs）的制备和包封工艺，并评估了抑制其特征滞后和蠕变的方法。分析了各种基膜和电极制备技术之间的关系，包括它们的优化方法，以及由此产生的ipmc的力学性能。此外，本文还根据其基本流程和应用场景对传统封装技术进行了分类和比较。持续的迟滞和蠕变现象严重制约了ipmc的长期发展。虽然经典的建模方法已被应用于解决这些问题，但它们在有效地表征IPMC行为方面往往存在不足。最近，数据驱动的方法，特别是深度学习技术，已经成为提高IPMC滞后和蠕变建模精度的有希望的替代方法。因此，本文对现有的数据驱动抑制方法进行了整理和分析。论文最后对智能材料和软机器人应用中ipmc的未来发展路径进行了深入的分析。通过对现有研究的综合，为推进IPMC技术的发展和提高其实际性能提供了全面的基础。
