Toward Long and Strong Electroactive Supercoiled Polymer Artificial Muscles: Fabrication with Constant-Load Springs
Summary :
An electroactive supercoiled polymer artificial muscle, which is made from a conductive sewing thread using self-coiling caused by inserting a twist with a hanged appropriate weight, is 1/4-1/3 of the thread in length. Therefore, it is necessary to move the weight vertically about two or three times as long as the desired electroactive supercoiled polymer artificial muscle, resulting in a large vertical dimension of the fabrication equipment. This study has attempted to solve this problem by using constant-load springs that enable horizontal table-top fabrication equipment. It has been also demonstrated that inserting a twist into the bundled threads results in a strong electroactive supercoiled polymer artificial muscle.
