Electroactive polymers (EAP) in presence of peripheral electrical activation field stimulation, change size or shape as resultant. They tolerate huge amount of deformation to withstand large forces. Electroactive polymers (EAP) possess conductive and piezoelectric properties. They are mostly used as actuators and sensors. It is 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 another important products of electroactive polymers (EAP). Conductive polymers dominates 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, capacitor, touch screen, organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), photovoltaic cell, textiles, electrostatic coatings, and transistors. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is the leading applications incorporated in the global electroactive polymers (EAP) market. Antistatic packaging are anticipated to grow at rapid pace for the forecast period. Antistatic packaging materials such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polyethersulfone in electronics and medical devices will boost the market growth.
