Because of their ability to act in the manner of biological muscles, electroactive polymers (EAPs) have earned the nickname "artificial muscles." JPL, in collaboration with research institutions ...

Electroactive polymer actuators represent a rapidly evolving field in materials science, where electrically induced deformations in polymers are harnessed to produce controlled mechanical motion.

Electroactive polymers, characterised by their ability to alter physical and electronic properties under an applied electrical stimulus, have emerged as promising candidates for energy storage, ...
