ABSTRACT:
An electroactive polymer (EAP) structure. The structure includes at least one EAP strand. An EAP strand includes a plurality of EAP segments and a plurality of insulators. An EAP segment includes an EAP tile and an activator. The activator facilitates activation of the EAP tile. The plurality of EAP segments and the plurality of insulators have a concatenated configuration, wherein adjacent EAP segments are electrically separated by one of the plurality of insulators, and wherein the EAP segments are operatively coupled to the plurality of insulators. A method for the system is also described.
