Ionic Polymer-Polymer Composites ((IPCs)-Cs-2) are electro-active polymers which can be used both as sensors and as actuators. In this paper (IPCs)-Cs-2, used as actuators, and with water as the solvent, are modeled. Starting from some previous results regarding modeling of Ionic Polymer Metal Composites (IPMCs) and of (IPCs)-Cs-2 themselves, using ethylene glycol (EG) as the solvent, linear and nonlinear black-box models have been identified from experimental data for (IPC)-C-2 actuators. Moreover, models proposed here take into account the dependence of (IPC)-C-2 actuators behavior on environmental temperature and humidity as relevant modifying inputs.
