The intrinsically multifunctional material comprises an active thin layer of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly-(styrene sulfonate) in a double-layered structure with a silicone elastomer and provides an opportunity toward developing a new class of smart structures for soft robotics.Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)1668-75https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC4369129biostudies-literatureToward a new generation of electrically controllable hygromorphic soft actuators.PMC4369129Sinibaldi EMattoli VTaccola SMondini AGreco FMazzolai BfalseToward a new generation of electrically controllable hygromorphic soft actuators.An innovative processing strategy for fabricating soft structures that possess electric- and humidity-driven active/passive actuation capabilities along with touch- and humidity-sensing properties is reported.
