Bimorph-structured NIPA/NIPA–PMDP gel was fabricated from a NIPA gel containing a polymer surfactant (PMDP) by an electrophoretic method. The gel showed clearly bending motions when heating in 1 M ...

Graphene-glass bimorphs can be used to fabricate numerous micron-scale 3-D structures, including (top to bottom) tetrahedron, helices of controllable pitch, high-angle folds and clasps, basic origami ...

A team of researchers from JTEC Corporation and Osaka University developed a bimorph deformable mirror that allows for precise shape modification and usage under vacuum, a world first. The team led by ...

ITHACA, N.Y. - An electricity-conducting, environment-sensing, shape-changing machine the size of a human cell? Is that even possible? Cornell University physicists Paul McEuen and Itai Cohen not only ...

A photothermally foldable soft bimorph was prepared via the dry transfer of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) doped with tosylate onto a poly(dimethylsiloxane ...

Actuators that can convert various environmental stimuli to mechanical works have revealed great potential for developing smart devices such as soft robots, micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), and ...

According to TDK HTI, its BIMORPH µ-Actuators deliver industry-leading micro-actuation performance in an ultra-compact form factor, well-suited for next-generation augmented-reality (AR) devices and ...
