Electromechanically Active Polymers: a Concise Reference

This book is meant to serve as a concise reference for the entire EAP field, filling a critical gap within the related scientific literature: the lack of a comprehensive and organized introduction at a tutorial level. Indeed, the purpose of this book is not to describe the latest findings and innovations, but, rather, present basic concepts and established knowledge in a simple form, especially conceived for those who are entering the field for the first time. Nevertheless, while the book is primarily designed for new comers, especially students, it also aims at serving as a unique reference, useful even to researchers and practitioners.
