Smart materials are set to revolutionize various fields, including biomedical engineering, chemistry, nanoscience, nanotechnology, and robotics. This second edition of Artificial Muscles: Applications of Advanced Polymeric Nanocomposites takes an interdisciplinary approach to these intelligent materials and structures. It has been thoroughly updated to cover the latest knowledge in ionic polymeric conductor nanocomposites (IPCNCs), including ionic polymeric metal nanocomposites (IPMNCs) as biomimetic distributed nanosensors, nanoactuators, nanotransducers, nanorobots, artificial muscles, and electrically controllable intelligent polymeric network structures.

The book is authored by one of the founding fathers of the field, providing a comprehensive overview of fabrication and manufacturing methods for electrically and chemically active ionic polymeric sensors, actuators, and artificial muscles. It also introduces a new class of electrically active polymeric nanocomposites and artificial muscles. Furthermore, it describes apparatuses for modeling and testing various artificial muscles to demonstrate their viability.

The book delves into the theories, modeling, and numerical simulations of ionic polymeric artificial muscles' electrodynamics and chemodynamics, showcasing their current industrial and medical applications. By covering the fabrication techniques of advanced polymeric nanocomposites, this edition continues to provide an accessible yet solid foundation to the subject, while also stimulating further research.

Some key features of the book include:

Fully up-to-date with the latest cutting-edge discoveries in the field.
Authored by a world expert in the subject area.
Explores the exciting and growing topic of smart materials in medicine.

Whether you're a researcher, engineer, or student, Artificial Muscles: Applications of Advanced Polymeric Nanocomposites is an essential resource for understanding and advancing the field of smart materials.
