Shahinpoor's research has mainly focused on [[electroactive polymers]], with a particular focus on [[ionic polymer-metal composites]] (IPMCs). He has investigated how these materials could be used as for a wide variety of applications, such as components of [[biomimetic]] [[soft robotics]], [[Robot-assisted surgery|robotic surgery]], soft [[Actuator|actuators]], self-powered energy harvesters, and [[Sensor|sensors]]. |
