DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Electroactive Polymers (EAP) Market Research Report - Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2015-2022" report to their offering.
Electroactive polymers (EAP) in the presence of peripheral electrical activation field stimulation, change size or shape as a resultant. They tolerate a huge amount of deformation to withstand large forces. Electroactive polymers (EAP) possess conductive and piezoelectric properties. They are mostly used as actuators and sensors. They are potentially applied in robotics as prosthetic limbs/muscles.
Conductive polymers, inherently dissipative polymers (IDPs), inherently conductive polymers (ICPs) and others are the major product segments acknowledged in the global electroactive polymers (EAP) market report. Ferroelectric, piezoelectric, and dielectric elastomers are other important products of electroactive polymers (EAP).
Conductive polymers dominate the electroactive polymers (EAP) product market followed by inherently conductive polymers (ICPs). It is estimated that inherently conductive polymers (ICPs) will witness substantial growth in the forecast period.
Actuators, sensors, electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection, antistatic packaging and others are the principal applications of electroactive polymers (EAP). Other applications of electroactive polymers (EAP) include inks, batteries, solar cells, capacitors, touch screens, organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), photovoltaic cells, textiles, electrostatic coatings, and transistors.
