    This document provides an overview of smart materials and focuses on Ionic Polymer Metal Composites (IPMCs). [1] IPMCs are ionic electroactive polymers that can bend or flex when a low voltage is applied. [2] They have been used to develop various actuators and sensors through different electrode configurations. [3] Future work aims to create IPMCs with higher responsiveness, agility, functionality, and intelligence by exploiting advances in nanotechnology.
