Abstract:Electroactive polymers (EAPs), when subjected to electrical stimuli, undergo physical deformations. These polymers are broadly classified as electronic and ionic electroactive polymers, depending on the mode of transport of charges when the electric stimulus is applied. They are further classified into subcategories based on the way a particular material responds to electrical stimuli, and due to this diversification, EAPs find applications in many sectors. In this paper, the classification of Electroactive po… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
