Electroactive polymers are one of
the most promising technologies. Compared to inorganic materials the versatile
polymers have various attractive properties, such as being lightweight,
inexpensive and easy to manufacture. Tremendous amount of research and
development has led to Electroactive Polymers (EAP) that can also change size
or shape when stimulated by the right external electrical activation mechanism,
meaning they can convert electrical energy into mechanical energy.

Especially in the actuators segment
vast R&D activity can be seen for specialized applications such as medical
devices and biomimetic-robotics. Here the features of electroactive polymers
are used to enable movement and generate force as well as electrically control
surface properties.
The large-scale penetration of the
touchscreen market will finally take the technology to the next level.
IDTechEx forcasts a penetration of the haptics for consumer electronics
touch display market exceeding 60% by 2018. This success will account
for over 40% of the expected total revenue in 5 years.
Other applications with great
potential in +5 years from now include energy harvesting from see waves,
medical applications, both invasive and non-invasive, large-area
sensors, speakers etc. Especially for energy harvesting and the medical
sector the technology needs to prove its suitability and improve
efficiency as well as long-term stability before it can finally become
commercial.ive year forecasts 2013-2018
