The impact of structural changes on the actuation of polypyrroles

A new non-contact method for characterizing the time-dependent mechanical performance of electro-active polymer films has been developed and is described in detail. We first illustrate our new measuring technique by investigating the impact of film thickness on the actuation performance of polypyrro...
