An Electro-Active Polymers & Its Applications: A Review

Abstract

Electro-active polymers (EAPs), which experience shape changes when exposed to electric fields, are interesting for planning a wide scope of sensors and actuators. In anxiety to customary activation framework dependent on engines, solenoids, voice loops, piezoelectric pottery, shape memory compounds, pneumatics and stream driven, actuators dependent on EAPs are light, adaptable, simple to process, economical ,and can be fit in with confounded surface and geometries. As of not long ago, high operational voltage (on the request for 300 V/µm) a low presentation attributes (most extreme strain feasible, greatest vitality thickness, and coupling productivity) restricted beneficiary use. Be that as it may, late achievements in the plan of elite EAPs composite with generally low operational voltage (on the request for 50 V/µm) presently permit us to create actuators dependent on this material.
