Abstract

Conjugated polymer artificial muscles fill a unique niche in the electroactive polymer portfolio. They combine high strength, low voltage, and reasonable speed with versatile fabrication and design. This article reviews the actuation mechanism in these materials and presents some of the designs that have been developed for applications such as Braille displays, catheters, and bioMEMS devices.
