Sepiolite/PVDF nanocomposite films for Ionic polymer metal composites actuators by Koh, Faith Jun Ning

“…Nafion is an example of an IPMC benchmark standard that is widely used; however, several inherent drawbacks of Nafion such as high cost and fixed physical properties have encouraged the search for new alternatives. In this report, we aim to tackle this issue through the fabrication of a novel poly-electrolyte film through modification of pristine Sepiolite (SEP) into the matrix of Poly(vinylidene) Fluoride (PVDF), a promising alternative to the commonly used Nafion. …”
