1. A controllably deformable laminate comprising:
- (a) a first flexible layer comprising an electronically conductive salt of polyaniline;
(b) a second flexible layer of electronically conductive material, surmounting said first layer, said second layer comprising a polymeric material comprising polyaniline, polypyrrole, or polyacetylene; and
(c) a flexible, electronically insulating and ionically non-conducting layer, interposed between said first and said second electronically conductive polymeric layers.

Abstract
Laminates containing a layer of conductive polyaniline are provided for various uses such as actuator devices. The laminates are controllably deformable and can operate on an electromechanical, chemomechanical, and mechanoelectrical modes. The laminates are preferably constructed so as to have a first flexible layer of polyaniline and a second flexible layer of polyaniline surmounted thereon. The polyaniline layers are separated by an electronically insulating layer.
