Humidity-Sensing Material Cottonid – Microstructural Tuning for Improved Actuation and Fatigue Performance

Adaptive actuators are stimuli-responsive materials able to make a direct use of primary energy to produce motion, as it is well known from motile plant structures. Changes in environmental conditions, such as temperature and humidity, trigger passive movements without the need of metabolism or the...
