AB  - An electro-stimulus-responsive bending actuator was developed by synthesizing a 
      non-perfluorinated membrane based on silicotungstic acid (SA), sulfonated 
      polyvinyl alcohol (SPVA), and polyaniline (PANI). The membrane was developed via 
      solution casting method. The dry membrane SA/SPVA showed a sufficient 
      ion-exchange potential of 1.6 meq g(-1) dry film. The absorption capacity of the 
      membrane after almost 6 h of immersion was found to be ca. 245% at 45  degrees C. The 
      electroless plating with Pt metal was carried out on both sides of the membrane 
      that delivered an excellent proton conductivity of 1.9 x 10(-3) S cm(-1). 
      Moreover, the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was conducted to reflect the 
      smooth and consistent surface that can prevent water loss. The water loss 
      capacity of the membrane was found to be ca. 33% at 6 V for 16 min. These results 
      suggest a good actuation output of the ionic polymer metal composite (IPMC) 
      membrane once the electrical potential is applied. The electromechanical 
      characterization displayed a maximum tip displacement of 32 mm at 3 V. A 
      microgripping device based on multifigure IPMC membrane may be developed showing 
      a good potential in micro-robotics.
