Electroactive polymers (EAPs) are materials that change their shape or size when an electric field is applied. They have gained significant attention in recent years due to their potential ...

Electroactive polymers (EAPs) respond to electrical stimulation with large deformations. They are dynamic actuators which have attracted attention from an interdisciplinary audience of engineers and ...

Sign us up for some! Although the fabrication process looks a bit daunting, we love the results of working with electro-active polymers. These are sheets of plastic that can flex by contracting in ...

"Incorporating conductive polymers into non-conductive materials ... bladder tissue regeneration than current methods. "It's electroactive and has ionic conductivity capability, which is more ...

As an example, consider thermochromic materials, known for their ability to manifest a color change in response to heat signals or electroactive polymers that produce mechanical outputs when ...
