Electroactive polymers (EAPs) respond to electrical stimulation
with large deformations. They are dynamic actuators which have
attracted attention from an interdisciplinary audience of engineers
and scientists. An enabling EAP technology is emerging which
attempts to imitate the properties of natural muscle and which, as
a result, can perform a unique function in a variety of
biologically-inspired robotics applications.
Electroactive Polymers for Robotics Applications covers the
fundamental properties, modelling and demonstration of EAPs in
robotic applications, focusing particularly on artificial muscles
and sensors. Ionic Polymera "Metal Composite Actuators and
Dielectric Elastomers are discussed within the book with chapters
on their properties and their uses in robotics applications.
With its concentration on devices based on EAPs and their uses,
Electroactive Polymers for Robotics Applications will be of
interest to researchers working within this field as well as to
postgraduate students studying robotics or smart materials and
structures. Practitioners working in the mechanical, electrical and
materials industries will also find this book of value.
