Bio-Inspired Polymer Composite Actuator and Generator Driven by Water Gradients

Bio-Inspired Polymer Composite Actuator and Generator Driven by Water Gradients

Here we describe the development of a water-responsive polymer film. Combining both a rigid matrix (polypyrrole) and a dynamic network (polyol-borate), strong and flexible polymer films were developed that can exchange water with the environment to induce film expansion and contraction, resulting in...
