研究目的
To develop a new type of light- and humidity-driven actuator with programmable complex shape-deformations using a laser printing technology.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrates the fabrication of dual-responsive TCP/BOPP actuators with programmable complex shape-deformations using a laser printing technology. The actuators show large bending curvatures when driven by NIR light or humidity and can perform complex 3D shapes. This new-type actuator has great potential in robotics and biomimetic applications.
研究不足
The study does not address the long-term durability of the actuators under repeated use or varying environmental conditions. The fabrication process, while convenient, may have limitations in terms of scalability for industrial applications.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs a laser printing technology to fabricate dual-responsive actuators. The light-driven actuation is based on a dual-mode actuation mechanism utilizing water adsorption/desorption properties.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The actuator consists of toner-coated paper (TCP) and biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP). The paper is pretreated by placing it in a high humidity chamber and then transferring it to a hot plate.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Commercial laser printer (HP LaserJet Pro CP1025), BOPP film, acrylic ester, NIR light source (Philips BR125), IR Power Meter (Linshang LS122A), laser sight infrared thermometer (Optris LS), infrared thermal imager (Fluke Ti10), precision balance (YOKEFA1004CS).
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The paper is pretreated, black toner is printed on it, BOPP film is attached, and the bilayer film is tailored into the desired shape. The actuator's response to NIR light and humidity is tested.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The bending curvature of the actuator is calculated from optical images and videos captured by a digital camera (SONY ILCE 6000).
