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 ...

Ionic Polymer Metal Composite (IPMC) actuators are a type of electroactive polymer that can change shape or move in response to an electric field. These materials are particularly appealing for ...

Libin Yang is currently a researcher of electroactive polymer materials.

In recent years there has been a growing interest in smart material alternatives. Among these emerging technologies are electroactive polymers, soft materials which deform in response to an applied ...

Abstract: For the electronic components made of electroactive polymer materials, a breakdown between the compliant electrodes is the main cause of failure. Similar to high voltage capacitors, a ...

Particular material systems of interest include polymers and polymer nanocomposites, as well as thin film, piezoelectric, and electroactive materials of interest in energy harvesting/scavenging ...

Scientists at Caltech and Princeton University have discovered that bacterial cells growing in a solution of polymers, such as mucus, form long cables that buckle and twist on each other ...

A research team led by scientists at Northwestern University has developed the first-ever two-dimensional mechanically interlocked material with high flexibility and strength. In the future, this ...

PEDOT/PSS is a polymer that does not affect the regularity of the hydrogel molecular chain; instead, it is doped onto the hydrogel network structure as a conductive component. As a result, there will ...
