@carpathianchris That's some defeatist shit. I doubt anyone imagines that naked EAPs could be installed directly into the chest, but technology for isolating current-carrying components from conductive matter is pretty well developed, as it is for sterilization and for managing the body's immune responses. The inconvenience of an impeded immune system and possible "leaking voltage" isn't minor, but is it greater than the inconvenience of not having a functioning heart? You lack imagination.

this solves the problem of pistons and clunky walking mechanisms for mechs.

@carpathianchris you have to admit it's a step in the right direction though, if everone was as pessimistic as you the world would still be flat and A.C current would have died with Mr Tesla

Also,
Any material like this unlikely to be biocompatable, being put into the body would have it being seen as a foreign body.
Finally, if someones research grant money is for designing polymers for a wobbly tail on a dinosaur, they are not just going to blow the money on the unlikely event of creating a bionic heart which would in essence be of no use what so ever inside a human torso.
Ten out of ten for effort though... twat.

I don't know how you think a lung works, but it definately doen't need any mechanical motion. This is carried out by the diaphram.
Electroactive polymers would not be suitable for a heart anyway. Dry systems like I assume this one is require fairly high voltages to cause deformation of the polymer. This would be undesirable inside the body as leak of voltage could give a shock.

Nice working wasting their research on a dinosaur... Why aren't I seeing a heart or lung made out of this?
