We built up the way of fabricating ionic polymer metal composite (IPMC) actuator with palladium electrodes and Indium Tin Oxide (ITO). The bending response under the various solvents and temperature were evaluated. In the evaluation, we study the influence to bending response by cation forms and mol concentration. As a result the bigger the ionic radius become, the larger bending response IPMC actuator showed, and the higher the ionic concentration become, the larger bending response IPMC actuator showed. The higher the temperature of ionic solvent is, the larger bending response IPMC actuator showed. Moreover, a simple beam model was introduced and compared with the experimental results.
