Bibliometric Analysis in the Field of Polymeric Motors

Polymeric motors are one of the focus research points in the present due to the continuous need to obtain more performant and actualized devices. This review presents the actual trends on the polymeric motors using bibliometric networks. The paper presents a state of the articles in the introduction with the identified motor type, main objective, applications and used polymers. Analyzing the bibliometric networks, 91 main items were identified and a few of them: polymeric motor, ultrasonic motor, system, mechanism, characteristic and application. They were distributed on clusters and multiple visualization perspectives can be identified in the results section. The most important steps in building a polymeric motor are to establish the system the motor will work in, then to identify the appropriate polymer type to be compatible with the action that the motor needs to effectuate and to establish the characteristics that need to be improved comparatively with previews created motors.
