Fouling Release Mechanism of an Octopus‐Inspired Smart Skin

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 34, Issue 41, October 8, 2024.
This work presents an octopus‐inspired smart skin for fouling release powered by Twisted Spiral Artificial Muscles (TSAMs). Upon actuation, dynamic shape change is induced on the smart skin by TSAMs, and biofilm release is achieved by reaching a desired critical strain between the biofilm and the skin.
