• Conductive polymers: towards a smart biomaterial for tissue engineering. (2014, background): “PPy, PANI and PEDOT can undergo considerable volume change when being switched between redox states, suggesting another two potential applications [157–160]: to serve as bioactuators and artificial muscles [14,16,161].”
• Electroactive polymer-based devices for e-textiles in biomedicine (2005, methodology): “Furthermore, conducting polymer actuators with higher response speeds and higher power-to-mass ratios have been obtained by applying very short impulses of unusually high voltages (resistance compensation) [87].”
• Artificial muscle technology: physical principles and naval prospects (2004, background): “Resistance compensation techniques can be employed to improve actuation rates, at the expense of some efficiency [53], [73].”
