The morphology, polar phase content and conductivity of PVDF nanofibres were enhanced by adding ionic substances to the electrospinning solution.
New insights on the impact of hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions temperature-dependencies self-healing electromechanical properties dielectric elastomers.
Soft robots and devices exploit highly deformable materials that are capable of changes in shape to allow conformable physical contact for controlled manipulation. While soft resilient mechanical impact, they susceptible damage, such as tears punctures. The development self‐healing actuators continues attract increasing interest, particular, with respect integrating polymers create bioinspired devices. Herein, a novel piezoelectric‐driven leaf‐motion mimic actuator is designed by combining...
Self-Healing Actuators Soft robots exploit deformable materials for conformable physical contact and controlled manipulation. In article number 2000248, Chaoying Wan co-workers combine a self-healing elastomer with piezoelectric to create actuator that mimics leaf-motion. The work addresses the emerging influence of soft actuators sensing, actuation, damage resistance in robotics.
