...Miles A. Buechler; Donald J. Leo Ionomeric polymers are a promising class of intelligent material which exhibit electromechanical coupling similar to that of piezoelectric bimorphs. Ionomeric polymers are much more compliant than piezoelectric ceramics or polymers and have been shown to produce...

... uncertainties in test sample dimensions, adhesive differences, the subjectivity of the manual shifting applied to the raw data, and the possibility that the material is not thermorheologically simple (meaning that more than one polymer is present in the composition, leading to multiple glass transition...
