Actuators: Remotely Light‐Powered Soft Fluidic Actuators Based on Plasmonic‐Driven Phase Transitions in Elastic Constraint (Adv. Mater. 51/2019)
Source abstract
Abstract
In article number 1905671, Fabian Meder, Ali Sadeghi, Barbara Mazzolai, and Giovanna Adele Naselli describe a light-driven soft pump that is based on a phase-transition-induced pressure generation of plasmonic nanoparticles constrained in an elastomer. The mechanism combines light-powering with fluidic actuation for soft actuators in microfluidics and soft robotics.
