Spatially Nonuniform Heating and the Nonlinear Transient Response of Elastomeric Photomechanical Actuators
Recently various nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes and graphene, have been added to rubbery elastomers, such as poly dimethyl siloxane (PDMS), to enable generation of stress and displacement in response to remote illumination. While the response is primarily due to heat-induced generation of s...
