Report


Description:
A suitable ElectroActive Polymer (EAP) is stimulated by an electric field, causing it to change in size or shape. Through the use of various sizes and shapes of EAP strands, it is possible to affect movement similar to that of human muscle. This has major implications in the fields of robotic and medical sciences, as well as other engineering areas.
