Electroactivity in Polymeric Materials provides an in-depth view of the theory of electroactivity - exactly how and why various electroactive phenomena occur. The book begins with an introduction to electroactivity followed by chapters that explain the theory behind electroactive bending (including ion-polymer-metal-composites - IPMCs), dielectric elastomers, electroactive contraction, and electroactive contraction-expansion cycles. The chapters on ionic liquids will be a must-read for within the electroactive community, particularly for professionals and graduate students who are interested in the fundamental understanding of this phenomena. provides an in-depth view of the theory of electroactivity - exactly how and why various electroactive phenomena occur.
