AB  - Thermal annealing effect on the physical properties of two ionic 
      (poly((t-butyl-styrene)-b-(ethylene-r-propylene)-b-(styrene-r-styrene 
      sulfonate)-b-(ethylene-r-propylene)-b-(t-butyl-styrene (SSPB) pentablock 
      copolymers with different ion exchange capacities (IEC; 1.5 and 2.0 meq/g) and 
      their electromechanical responses in ionic polymer-metal composite (IPMC) devices 
      have been investigated. The ionic SSPB formed the microphase-separated morphology 
      on the several tens nanometer scale and the selectively sulfonated styrene middle 
      blocks formed the ionic channels through which ions can pass in the membrane. The 
      thermal annealing at a high temperature led to the well developed 
      interconnectivity between adjacent ionic channels, and thus enhanced the ion 
      conductivity and mechanical strength of membranes, resulting in an actuation 
      enhancement of the SSPB-based ionic actuator.
