Abstract

Soft actuators with large deformation and high output force in response to multi-stimuli are highly demanded for the development of biomimetic applications. Here, a bilayer actuator composed of spongy graphene with internal gasbag microstructures and the commercial polyimide adhesive tape is fabricated by a simple and fast method. This actuator produces large deformation, high output force, and dual-stimuli response, owing to the deformation of graphene micro-gasbags coupled with the thermal expansion of polyimide, and the electrothermal and photothermal properties of graphene. Experiments show that upon low voltage (16 V) stimulation the fabricated actuator with a length of 30 mm could generate a bending curvature of 0.55 cm
