Artificial Muscles : Applications of Advanced Polymeric Nanocomposites (Original PDF from Publisher)

Through Mohsen Shahinpoor

In several disciplines , including biomedical engineering , chemistry , nanoscience , nanotechnology and robotics , smart materials represent the way of the future .

This second edition of Artificial Muscles : Applications of Advanced Polymeric Nanocomposites , featuring an interdisciplinary approach to smart materials and structures , has been completely updated to review the most recent knowledge of ionic polymeric conductor nanocomposites (IPCNCs) , including ionic polymeric metal nanocomposites (IPMNCs) as biomimetic distributed nanosensors, nanoactuators , nanotransducers , nanorobots , artificial muscles and electrically controllable materials . A new class of electrically active polymeric nanocomposites and many electrically and chemically active ionic polymeric sensors , actuators and artificial muscles are introduced in this book , which was written by one of the field’s pioneers .
