- IPMC is a type of smart material called an electroactive polymer
- Consists of an ionic polymer such as Nafion or Flemion and a conducive metal such as platinum or gold
- COMSOL multi-physics simulations accurately model the experimental displacement results
- Optimization performed using the multi-physics model to find the maximum deflection, force, and twisting
- Using the closed loop control system accurate IPMC tip location can be achieved
- This control system has been extended to function using a computer mouse as an input

In this research, fuel cell catalyst layer was developed using the optimized sphere packing algorithm. An optimization technique named adaptive random search technique (ARSET) was employed in this packing algorithm. The ARSET algorithm will generate the initial location of spheres and allow them to move in the random direction with the variable moving distance, randomly selected from the sampling range (a), based on the Lennard–Jones potential and Morse potential of the current and new configuration. The solid fraction values obtained from this developed algorithm are in the range of 0.610–0.624 while the actual processing time can significantly be reduced by …
