Statistical Modeling of Photo-Bending Actuation of Hybrid Silicones Mixed with Azobenzene Powder

Mechanically responsive materials are promising as next-generation actuators for soft robotics, but have scarce reports on the statistical modeling of the actuation behavior. This research reports on the development and modeling of the photomechanical bending behavior of hybrid silicones mixed with...
