Reversible actuation of fibrous artificial muscle under external compression load

Abstract Herein, we report hybrid fibrous artificial muscles with reversible actuation, i.e., expansion upon cooling and contraction upon heating, under external compression. Although many fibrous polymeric artificial muscles by twist insertion in precursor fibers have been developed, most of them c...
