Dual-Stimuli Responsive Carbon Nanotube Sponge-PDMS Amphibious Actuator

, 2019
A dual-stimuli responsive soft actuator based on the three-dimensional (3D) porous carbon nanotube (CNT) sponge and its composite with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) was developed, which can realize both electrothermal and electrochemical actuation.

Soft Electrothermal Meta-Actuator for Robust Multifunctional Control

CoRR
Soft electrothermal actuators are of great interest in diverse application domains for their simplicity, compliance, and ease of control. However, the very nature of thermally induced mechanical actuation sets inherent operation constraints: unidirectional motion, environmental sensitivity, and slow response times limited by passive cooling.

Scalable electrothermal MEMS actuator for optical fibre alignment

, 2004
A new geometry of high-force electrothermal actuator is demonstrated using microelectromechanical systems technology. The actuator consists of two sets of inclined, parallel, suspended beams, which are tethered at one end and linked together at the other.
