Electroactivity In Polymeric Materials

Electroactivity in Polymeric Materials provides an in-depth view of the theory of electroactivity and explores exactly how and why various electroactive phenomena occur. The book explains the theory behind electroactive bending (including ion-polymer-metal-composites ?PMCs), dielectric elastomers, electroactive contraction, and electroactive contraction-expansion cycles. The book also balances theory with applications ?how electroactivity can be used ?drawing inspiration from the manmade mechanical world and the natural world around us.
