Electroactive polymers (EAPs) are a class of polymers that exhibit a change in size, shape, or electrical properties when stimulated by an electric field. They are often referred to as “artificial muscles” due to their ability to produce motion similar to biological muscles. EAPs are widely used in applications such as sensors, actuators, flexible electronics, medical devices, robotics, haptics, and energy harvesting. Their lightweight nature, flexibility, and low power consumption make them increasingly attractive for next-generation smart materials and devices.
