Electroactive polymers (EAPs) are a class of smart materials that exhibit a change in shape or size when an electric field is applied. This property allows EAPs to act like artificial muscles, enabling applications in various fields, including robotics, artificial limbs, sensors, actuators, and flexible electronics. There are two main categories of electroactive polymers: 1. **Ionic EAPs**: These are typically soft, flexible materials that respond to ionic movement.
