Abstract:The soft actuators of smart materials have attracted significant attention in recent years due to their unique functions and distinctive characteristics. The actuators are composed of smart materials that can demonstrate substantial alterations in their dimensions, shape, or mechanical characteristics when subjected to external stimuli, including but not limited to temperature, light, electricity, or magnetic fields. These aforementioned characteristics render them highly advantageous for various applications,… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
