Semi‐Crystalline Rubber as a Light‐Responsive, Programmable, Resilient Robotic Material

Advanced Functional Materials, 2022
AbstractPolymers with large and reversible light‐induced deformation offer a plethora of opportunities for the wireless control of small‐scale soft robots. However, their widespread adoption in real‐world applications is hindered, mainly due to their intrinsic softening upon illumination. Such limitation has detrimental effects on the achievable stress,
