Interesting...in researching the answer, I now know more about this than I did 5 minutes ago, and more than I'll ever need to know. From wikipedia, of course....the following excerpt (click the link for more info on the topic) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroactive_polymer Electroactive Polymers or EAPs are polymers whose shape is modified when a voltage is applied to them. They can be used as actuators or sensors. As actuators, they are characterized by the fact that they can undergo a large amount of deformation while sustaining large forces. Due to the similarities with biological tissues in terms of achievable stress and force, they are often called artificial muscles, and have the potential for application in the field of robotics, where large linear movement is often needed. EAP can have several configurations, but are generally divided in two principal classes:
polymer
It is a polymer which has special properties such as a memory shape polymer.
A lipid is both a polymer and monomer. Polymer: Triglyceride Monomers: glycerol and fatty acids
polymer
A phospholipid is not a polymer.
