Synthesis and characterisation of potentially electrostrictive polymers

The work described in this thesis was concerned with the synthesis of electrostrictive polymers. Electrostrictive elastomers, the so-called artificial muscles, are a recent area of interest due to their potential for application in robots, smart materials and many high-technology devices. The goal o...
