Surface-Controlled Molecular Self-Alignment in Polymer Actuators for Flexible Microrobot Applications
Polymer actuators are important components in lab-on-a-chip and micromechanical systems because of the inherent properties that result from their large and fast mechanical responses induced by molecular-level deformations (e.g., isomerization). They typically exhibit bending movements via asymmetric...
