Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contains the contents of two symposia, both held in November 2001: the first part of the volume presents Symposium EE, "Electroactive Polymers and Their Applications as Actuators, Sensors, and Artificial Muscles." These papers address electroactive and nonelectroactive polymers; models, analysis, and simulation of EAP behavior; methods of testing and characterization of EAP properties and performance; support technologies including control, design, and fabrication processes; and applications of EAP actuators. The second part, Symposium Q titled "Rapid Prototyping Technologies--From Tissue Engineering to Conformal Electronics" contains five sections with papers addressing direct writing electronic components; rapid prototyping sensors and structures; energy storage and modeling; liquid and dispensing deposition; and tissue engineering.
