Bio-Inspired Polymer Composite Actuator and Generator Driven by Water Gradients
Open accessAbstract
Mini Mighty Muscle: Actuators—or artificial muscles—take electrical or chemical energy and convert it into mechanical force. Typically, actuators made from polymers can show large deformations, but cannot generate a lot of force.Ma et al.(p.186; see the Perspective byKim and Kwon) describe a polymer composite based on a modified polypyrrole that expands in response to water absorption. The composite was able to generate large stresses and forces, and offered a high work density approaching those of the best conducting polymer electrochemical actuators. Magnetic nanoparticles incorporated into polymer films were used to control the locomotion of the actuator.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
