Abstract
Dielectric elastomers and intrinsically conductive
polymers are two examples of materials that are used as
electroactive polymers, EAPs. The EAP actuators change
their shape or size when actuated by an electric voltage.
Nanocompounds potentially offer improved or superior
material properties, which has given the motivation to
develop stronger actuator materials by nanotechnological
means.
