The sample should be prevented from electrically discharging itself by com-
pletely isolating it from any electric discharging systems.
As far as making magnetic IPMNCs is concerned, the reader is referred to Park
et al. (2006) to see how ferromagnetic metal salts can also be embedded within the
IPMNCs molecular network and give rise to magnetically active IPMNCs. In connec-
tion with self-oscillatory phenomena in IPMNCs, see D. Kim and K. J. Kim (2005).

Sequence of events establishing electric shape memory effect. (a) Before the
voltage of 4 V is applied to the sample of 10
0.34 mm; (b) 4 sec after the voltage is
applied; (c) 6 sec after the electrodes are shorted by connecting the lead wires together; (d)
4 sec later after the same voltage is applied again; (e) 10 min later after the muscle is
completely detached from the electrodes with permanent deformation and laid on a table.
