Electrothermal Actuators with Ultrafast Response Speed and Large Deformation [PDF]
Advanced Intelligent Systems, 2020 The ability to fabricate electrothermal actuators (ETAs) simultaneously featuring ultrafast response speed (within 0.1 s), large deformation (bending for at least 360°), high figure‐of‐merit (FoM, larger than 0.1%), and low driving voltage (smaller than 1 V) in a single device is extremely important and challenging for their applications in artificial ...
