High-performance structure of a coil-shaped soft-actuator consisting of polymer threads and carbon nanotube yarns

We fabricated thermally driven metal-free soft-actuators consisting of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) threads as the actuator and carbon nanotube (CNT) yarns as the heating source. The mechanical force, displacement, and response behavior of various structures of the coil-shaped soft-actuators w...
