In this work, we fabricated a fiber-stiffened soft actuator with PEDOT/PSS films as electrode. Embedding nylon fibers in the soft actuator successfully suppressed twisting deformations, resulting in a large and persistent actuation displacement. We evaluated the effects of the fiber spacing (1, 2, 3 and 4 mm) on the displacement and assessed the actuation displacement as a function of applied voltage (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 V) and frequency (0.2 and 1 Hz) with an actuation time of 500 s. We demonstrated that the fiberstiffened actuator with 2 mm fiber spacing exhibited steady actuation cycles (4.2 mm average displacement) in comparison with those with different spacings (1, 3, and 4 mm) and that without the fiber.
在这项工作中，我们制作了一种纤维增强的软驱动器，其电极采用 PEDOT/PSS 薄膜。将尼龙纤维嵌入软驱动器中成功抑制了扭转变形，从而产生了大且持久的致动位移。我们评估了纤维间距（1、2、3 和 4 毫米）对位移的影响，并评估了作为外加电压（0.5、1.0 和 1.5 V）和频率（0.2 和 1 Hz）函数的致动位移，外加时间为 500 秒。我们证明，与具有不同间距（1、3 和 4 毫米）和没有纤维的纤维增强型致动器相比，具有 2 毫米纤维间距的纤维增强型致动器具有稳定的致动循环（平均位移为 4.2 毫米）。
