than the electric field necessary to generate the same deformation. The reader is
referred to Shahinpoor and Kim (2000c, 2001b, 2001g, 2002h, 2002j) and Kim and
Shahinpoor (2003b) for further discussion on these issues.
This completes our coverage of mechnoelectrical phenomena in ionic polymers.
More extensive modeling is under way and will be reported later. For other formu-
lations of micromechanics of IPMNC actuations and sensing, the reader is referred
to Asaka et al. (2000), Asaka and Oguro (2000), Nemat-Nasser and Li (2000), and
Tadokoro (2000).
