Experimental characterization of thermally-activated artificial muscles based on coiled nylon fishing lines
The discovery of an innovative class of thermally activated actuators based on twisted polymeric fibres has opened new horizons toward the development of effective devices that can be easily manufactured using inexpensive materials such as fishing lines or sewing threads. These new devices show larg...
