AB  - A polyvinylidene fluoride, sulfonated graphene oxide composite membrane coated 
      with polypyrrole (Ppy) and platinum metal (Pt) was fabricated. The 
      Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic analysis was done to analyze the 
      functional groups present in the composite material. Deposition of PPy/Pt 
      electrode and surface morphology of PVDF/SGO/Pt/PPy was confirmed by scanning 
      electron microscopic (SEM) images. The capacity of ion exchange and proton 
      conductivity (PC) of PVDF/SGO/Pt/PPy were 1.4 meq g(-1) of dry ion exchanger and 
      4.251 x 10(-2) S cm(-1), respectively. A two-link flexible manipulator based on 
      the fabricated ionic polymer metal composite (IPMC) membranes was also developed 
      where the electromechanical behaviour of a polymer-based actuator provides an 
      important step in robotics applications.
