A variety of stimuli-responsive polymers have been developed and used as actuators and/or artificial muscles, with the movement being driven by an external stimulus, such as electrical potential. This Review highlights actuators constructed from liquid-crystal elastomers, dielectric elastomers, ionic polymers, and conducting polymers. The Review covers recent examples of a variety of actuators generated from these materials and their utility. The mechanism of actuation will be detailed for most examples in order to stimulate possible future research, and lead to new applications and advanced applications.
人们已经开发出多种刺激响应聚合物，并将其用作致动器和/或人造肌肉，其运动由外部刺激（如电势）驱动。本综述重点介绍了由液晶弹性体、介电弹性体、离子聚合物和导电聚合物构成的致动器。该综述涵盖了由这些材料制成的各种致动器的最新实例及其用途。将详细阐述大多数实例的致动机理，以激发未来可能的研究，并催生新的应用和先进应用。
