Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of POE/ANF/CNT composites with a sandwich architecture using layer-by-layer technology.
  • Utilizing differential thermal expansion coefficients for actuation, with POE as the active layer and ANFs/CNTs as reinforcement.
  • Employing bird's-nest-like CNT structures for repeatable programming capabilities.

Main Results:

  • Actuators exhibit rapid responses to light, electrical, and thermal stimuli with low activation energy and high speed.
  • Demonstrated significant deformation, exceptional fatigue resistance, and repeatable morphological programming.
  • Achieved effective EMI shielding (35.7 dB), high tensile strength (39.1 MPa), and superior Joule heating performance (301 °C).
  • Materials show excellent thermal stability with decomposition temperatures up to 473 °C.

Conclusions:

  • The developed POE/ANF/CNT composites function as multifunctional intelligent actuators with excellent performance characteristics.
  • These materials offer a promising combination of EMI shielding, actuation, and mechanical properties.
  • Significant potential for applications in flexible wearable electronics, EMI shielding, and soft robotics.
