Description

Twistable double-helix fibrous artificial muscle and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of fibrous artificial muscles, and particularly relates to a twistable double-helix fibrous artificial muscle and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Artificial muscle refers to a class of materials and devices that reversibly contract, expand, and rotate in response to an external stimulus (e.g., voltage, current, pressure, temperature, light). In recent years, the fiber type artificial muscles have attracted particular attention, allowing, despite their simple appearance, very complex driving actions: large angular rotational actuation and large telescopic drive. Meanwhile, the fiber has good flexibility and high anisotropy. A variety of different materials are widely used in the design of fibrous artificial muscles: polymers, carbon nanotubes, graphene, polymer/inorganic material composites, and some natural fibers such as silk and cotton, etc. The reason why the rotation and telescopic actuation can be generated:
1. the fiber generates actuation caused by fiber volume expansion caused by actions of mass transfer, thermal volume expansion, deformation and the like with the outside;
2. actuation by a change in order of the molecules;
3. actuation by varying the distance between the constituent fibers by different forces.
The fiber type artificial muscle has excellent driving performance and wide application prospect, so that more scholars participate in the research of the fiber type artificial muscle. In recent years, various novel fiber-type artificial muscles have been developed and applied to various fields. Foroughi et al first designed a fibrous artificial muscle that could be rotated in a simple three-electrode polarization system using carbon nanotube yarn. The carbon nanotube yarn is twisted by scientific researchers to produce fibrous artificial muscle thinner than hair, the artificial muscle is put into electrolyte solution, after the artificial muscle is electrified, double-layer charges enter the twisted carbon nanotube yarn to expand the volume of the carbon nanotube yarn and untwist fibers, so that the carbon nanotube yarn rotates and contracts the longitudinal length of the carbon nanotube yarn, and the artificial muscle returns to the original state when the carbon nanotube yarn is powered off. Lima et al, which use carbon nanotube yarn as a host and paraffin as an object to permeate into twisted carbon nanotube yarn, produced a fibrous artificial muscle with high power and capable of performing millions of cycles. This artificial muscle avoids the need for electrolytes or some special packaging. The fibrous artificial muscle designed by different materials can be applied to different stimulation environments, so that the fibrous artificial muscle has wider application prospect by searching for new materials and designing new structures.
