This research will focus on the development of high performance, high efficiency electroactive polymers (EAPs), particularly electromechanically active polymers by controlling molecular chemical structures and morphology. Mechanisms of electromechanical properties of EAPs will be investigated by laboratory experimental and computational studies. The research will also develop prototype devices, micro-electromechanical systems, and artificial muscles, using EAPs for aerospace applications.
