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 ...

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 ...

Electroactive polymers (EAPs) are materials that change shape or size when stimulated by an electric field. This unique property makes them ideal candidates for creating artificial muscles and ...

Our research group focuses on: 1. Ferroelectric and dielectric functional polymers for electrical applications. 2. Electroactive polymers. 3. Polymer nanocomposites and polymer brushes. Guanchun and ...

Haptic technology has been dominated by ERMs (eccentric rotating mass ) for several decades. ERMS no longer meet OEM' s ever demanding requirements for better user interfaces. Film based haptic ...

“CRPs are less likely to dissolve in a battery’s electrolyte than most electroactive polymers,” explains Sjödin. Traditional electroactive polymers also require conductive ...

"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 ...
