The researcher has just published a book on conducting polymers, "the revolution of devices for this century"
The professor of the Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT) Toribio Fernandez was the winner in this year's congress of the Society for EuroEAP electrochemically active polymers, transducers and artificial muscles, held in Denmark a few days ago.
Researchers are developing actuators and new engines based on chemical reactions recognize the trajectory in this field professor at the Polytechnic University of Cartagena, who gave one of the two plenary lectures at the conference in which he presented his new book, 'Conducting Polymers.
Bioinspired intelligen Materials and Devices', published by the Royal Society of Chemistry.
"Nature has always inspired technological devices.
Why do robots and computers running, as our muscles and brain, through chemical reactions? ", Suggests the researcher who developed the first conscious motor.
"The new reactive materials enable a revolution in devices throughout the century," portends.
Cartagena will host in June 2017 for the next edition of Congress EuroEAP, in which more than one hundred researchers 'Micact' network supported by the Marie Curie program of the European Commission.
