Electroactivity: Theoretical Considerations -- Electroactivity: Theoretical Considerations for Contraction -- Bending in Electroactivity -- IPMCs and their Impact on Electroactivity.-Introduction to Ionic Liquids -- Ionic Liquids and EAPs
Summary
Annotation Electroactivity in Polymeric Materialsprovides an in-depth viewof the theory of electroactivity and exploresexactly how and whyvarious electroactive phenomena occur. The book explains the theory behind electroactive bending (including ion-polymer-metal-composites IPMCs), dielectric elastomers, electroactive contraction, andelectroactive 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
