Abstract:Materials with switchable stiffness, especially dynamically
switchable
stiffness with a large switching range, have aroused considerable
interest in the field of soft actuators. Herein, we designed a three-dimensional
(3D)-architected Field’s metal (FM) microstructure and embedded
it into a kind of designed phase-changing side-chain stiffness variable
polymer to obtain a composite (SUFM) with superior stiffness switchable
capacity. SUFM exhibits excellent conductivity under low volume fraction
(31.5%). What is… 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.
