Self‐Sensing Paper Actuators Based on Graphite–Carbon Nanotube Hybrid Films
2018
Overview
Soft actuators have demonstrated potential in a range of applications, including soft robotics, artificial muscles, and biomimetic devices. However, the majority of current soft actuators suffer from the lack of real‐time sensory feedback, prohibiting their effective sensing and multitask function. Here, a promising strategy is reported to design bilayer electrothermal actuators capable of simultaneous actuation and sensation (i.e., self‐sensing actuators), merely through two input electric terminals. Decoupled electrothermal stimulation and strain sensation is achieved by the optimal combination of graphite microparticles and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the form of hybrid films. By finely tuning the charge transport properties of hybrid films, the signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) of self‐sensing actuators is remarkably enhanced to over 66. As a result, self‐sensing actuators can actively track their displacement and distinguish the touch of soft and hard objects. Proposed self‐sensing actuators offer simultaneous actuation and sensation through two input electric terminals. Decoupled electrothermal stimulation and strain sensation are achieved by the hybridization of graphite microparticles and carbon nanotubes. The nearly zero thermal coefficient of resistance and high piezoresistive response of hybrid films significantly enhance the signal‐to‐noise ratio of the proposed self‐sensing actuators.
