Light-Activated Elongation/Shortening and Twisting of a Nematic Elastomer Balloon
Nematic elastomer balloons with inflation-induced axial contraction and shear/torsion effect can be used as actuators for soft robots, artificial muscles, and biomedical instruments. The nematic elastomer can also generate drastic shape changes under illumination, and thus light can be utilized to a...
