Preface
The thoughts of making a theoretical textbook style book in electroactive materials began when I started getting more students in the laboratory. When new students join the project, I invariably give them a stack of journal articles to wade through, so began thinking how helpful it would be to give them a concise book to start with. This book is designed as a starting point, particularly to get a handle on ‘‘how does electroactive movement happen?’’ The goal of this book was to capture the theory—how electroactivity works— balanced with applications—how can electroactivity be used, drawing inspiration from our manmade mechanical world and the natural world a
