Spider dragline silk as torsional actuator driven by humidity.
Liu, D; Tarakanova, A; Hsu, CC; Yu, M; Zheng, S; Yu, L; Liu, J; He, Y; Dunstan, DJ; Buehler, MJ (2019-03)Self-powered actuation driven by ambient humidity is of practical interest for applications such as hygroscopic artificial muscles. We demonstrate that spider dragline silk exhibits a humidity-induced torsional deformation ...
