Anisotropic Friction: Bioinspired 3D Printed Locomotion Devices Based on Anisotropic Friction (Small 1/2019)
Source abstract
Abstract
Inspired by anisotropic friction in nature, polymer microactuators with an as precise scale-matching as those encountered in nature are prepared by 3D printing technology in article number 1802931 by Xiaolong Wang, Daniele Dini, Feng Zhou, and co-workers. The as-prepared microactuators with controllable thorn size, tilt angles and area density, exhibit typical friction anisotropy features which can be successfully used to transport cargos. This work provides new avenues for developing intelligent actuators and microbots.
