electroactive polymer

Elastomer plastics {electroactive polymer}| (EPA) can move by applying electric or magnetic fields.

ionic

Ionic polymer gels, ionomeric polymer-metal complexes, conductive polymers, and carbon nanotubes use low voltage and keep expanding or contracting at any voltage.

electronic

Ferroelectric polymers {perovskite}, electrets, dielectric silicone or acrylic elastomers, and electrostatic graft elastomers use high voltage.

insulator

Insulators contract in electric-field direction and so expand perpendicular to field {Maxwell stress}. Ferroelectric random-access memory (FRAM) uses dipoles as bits. Dipoles can be left or right spirals.
