单词 | artificial muscles |
释义 | artificial musclesartificial musclesElectroactive polymers (EAPs), plastic substances that move in response to electrical stimulation. These are dielectric elastomers which, when in sheet form and sandwiched between compliant electrodes to which a voltage is applied, contract in the direction of the electric field line and expand perpendicularly to that direction. The effect is the result of a simple attraction between opposite charges. Artificial muscles are a recent technological advance in mechanical actuation likely to be widely exploited in medicine and in other fields as replacements for bulky and unsuitable electric motors. |
