Electroactive Polymers (EAPs) are a class of polymers that exhibit a change in size or shape when stimulated by an electric field. These materials are often referred to as “artificial muscles” due to their ability to mimic biological muscle movements.

EAPs are widely used in applications such as actuators, sensors, energy harvesting systems, and flexible electronics. Their lightweight nature, flexibility, and energy efficiency make them highly attractive for advanced technological applications in robotics, healthcare, and consumer electronics.
