The thickness of the polymer layer is 30-150 μm. The light drive is laser or sunlight, and can also be artificial simulated sunlight such as a xenon lamp.
The intelligent driving composite material provided by the invention can generate deformation under the stimulation of an external electric signal and the stimulation of illumination, and is changed into a straight shape from a curled shape; under the stimulation of 10V DC voltage, 235-degree angle change deformation can be generated in 4.86s, and 250W/cm2The angle change of 225 degrees can be generated within 0.83s under the irradiation of the simulated sunlight.
The invention also discloses a preparation method of the intelligent driving composite material, which comprises the following steps:
step 1: dispersing the carbon nanotube powder into a solvent to form a uniform dispersion liquid, placing the dispersion liquid on a substrate, and heating and evaporating to form a carbon nanotube film 42;
the carbon nano tube powder in the step is one of a single-wall carbon nano tube, a double-wall carbon nano tube or a multi-wall carbon nano tube; the solvent is one of nitrogen, nitrogen-dimethylacetamide, nitrogen-dimethylformamide and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone; uniformly dispersing carbon nano tube powder in a solvent by ultrasonic, wherein the concentration of a carbon nano tube dispersion liquid is 0.2-5 mg/ml; the substrate is one of glass, polytetrafluoroethylene, metal, ceramic and silicon wafer; the temperature range for evaporating the solvent is 40-200 ℃.
Step 2: uniformly mixing polymer materials to obtain polymer liquid;
the polymer in this step is PDMS; the PDMS polymer material was mixed by ultrasonic agitation.
And step 3: spin coating the polymer liquid on the carbon nanotube film 42, heating and curing the polymer layer to shape; peeling the polymer/carbon nanotube double-layer structure film from the substrate to obtain an intelligent driving composite material 4 with a coiled structure;
the temperature for curing and forming the polymer in the above steps is 80-200 ℃.
The preferred embodiment of the above preparation method is as follows: 150mg of multi-walled carbon nano-tube is weighed and dispersed in 50ml of nitrogen, nitrogen-dimethyl acetamide, and ultrasonic dispersion is carried out for 1 hour to prepare dispersion liquid with the concentration of 3 mg/ml. 10ml of the multi-walled carbon nanotube dispersion was placed in a 75X25 cm-size container2And drying the glass substrate at 60 ℃ to obtain the carbon nano-tube alkene film. And then, taking 5g of PDMS polymer precursor, adding 0.5g of PDMS crosslinking agent, and ultrasonically stirring for 0.5h to obtain viscous liquid of the PDMS polymer. Fixing the glass substrate with the carbon nanotube film attached to the surface on a rotary table of a spin coater, dripping 1g of polymer liquid of PDMS on the carbon nanotube film, spin coating at two steps of 1000rpm multiplied by 15s and 3000rpm multiplied by 1min, heating at 100 ℃ for 24 hours, and peeling from the glass substrate to obtain the intelligent driving composite film with a curled structure.
Referring to the cross-sectional topography of the scanning electron microscope of fig. 2, the network structure of the carbon nanotubes and the double-layer structure of the composite film can be seen.
Referring to fig. 3, the composite material 4 is capable of being unrolled from a rolled state to a flat state upon application of a voltage signal stimulus, and automatically reverts to the rolled state upon removal of the voltage signal.

Under the stimulation of external light, the part 1 can generate outward expansion deformation, but the deformation of the part 1 is prevented by the non-deformable part 3, so that the accumulation of elastic energy is generated between the part 1 and the part 3; as the deformation of the portion 1 increases under continuous light, the portion 3 cannot continue to deform the tissue portion 1, and the elastic energy between the portions 1 and 3 is suddenly released, thereby creating a jumping action.
