New York, NY -- (SBWire) -- 06/14/2016 --Polymers that exhibit transitions such as change in shape or size when an electric field is applied are known as electroactive polymers. Electroactive polymers (EAP) are used in electronic applications, which is expected to drive the market. As compared to inorganic materials, electroactive polymers possess features such as inexpensive, lightweight, and easy manufacturing which along with technological advancements would enhance market share during the forecast period. Electroactive polymers have extensive applications which include actuators, capacitors, sensors, electrostatic plastics (paintable), robotics (artificial muscle development), among the others. Use of electroactive polymers in robotics for muscle development is predicted to be more cost-effective than using semiconductor and metal materials. Thus, growing use of robotics would affect the demand of electroactive polymers in near future. Electroactive polymers market growth is primarily increasing due to its wide use in areas such as medical devices, electrostatic discharge/electromagnetic interference, high-strain sensors, and biomimetic.
