Optimization of Phase-Change Material–Elastomer Composite and Integration in Kirigami-Inspired Voxel-Based Actuators

Phase-change material–elastomer composite (PCMEC) actuators are composed of a soft elastomer matrix embedding a phase-change fluid, typically ethanol, in microbubbles. When increasing the temperature, the phase change in each bubble induces a macroscopic expansion of the matrix. This class of actuat...
