Offers a comprehensive review of the research and development of
mechanically responsive materials and their applications in soft
robots Mechanically Responsive Materials for Soft Robotics offers
an authoritative guide to the current state of mechanically
responsive materials for the development of soft robotics. With
contributions from an international panel of experts, the book
examines existing mechanically responsive materials such as
crystals, polymers, gels, and composites that are stimulated by
light and heat. The book also explores the application of
mechanical materials to soft robotics. The authors describe the
many excellent mechanical crystals developed in recent years that
show the ability to bend, twist, rotate, jump, self-heal, and shape
memory. Mechanical polymer materials are described for evolution
into artificial muscles, photomobile materials, bioinspired soft
actuators, inorganic-organic hybrid materials, multi-responsive
composite materials, and strain sensor materials. The application
of mechanical materials to soft robots is just the beginning. This
book reviews the many challenging and versatile applications, such
as soft microrobots made from photoresponsive elastomers,
four-dimensional printing for assembling soft robots, self-growing
of soft robots like plants, and biohybrid robots using muscle
tissue. This important book: -Explores recent developments in the
use of soft smart materials in robotic systems -Covers the full
scope of mechanically responsive materials: polymers, crystals,
gels, and nanocomposites -Deals with an interdisciplinary topic of
advanced smart materials research -Contains extensive descriptions
of current and future applications in soft robotics Written for
materials scientists, polymer chemists, photochemists, physical
chemists, solid state chemists, inorganic chemists, and robotics
engineers, Mechanically Responsive Materials for Soft Robotics
offers a comprehensive and timely review of the most recent
research on mechanically responsive materials and the manufacture
of soft robotics.
