Title:
Polymer fiber actuators, actuator systems, articles, actuator materials and processes
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP6343267
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
Actuators (artificial muscles) comprising twist-spun nanofiber yarn or twist-inserted polymer fibers generate torsional and/or tensile actuation when powered electrically, photonically, chemically, thermally, by absorption, or by other means. These artificial muscles utilize non-coiled or coiled yarns and can be either neat or comprising a guest. Devices comprising these artificial muscles are also described.
