Popis: As a kind of flexible intelligent driving material, ionic polymer-metal composite (IPMC) has attracted the attention of researchers due to its advantages of lightweight, large deformation, and fast response. However, the reciprocating bending of IPMC causes cracks to appear on the surface metal electrode layer and reduces the water uptake (WUP). At the same time, the metal particles are extruded, resulting in an increase in resistivity, which affects the driving performance of the materials. Therefore, in this study, considering the preparation cost, Cu-Pt-IPMC using Pt and Cu as a composite electrode with the self-healing system was prepared by electroless plating and Cu
