Cellulose-based Electro-Active Paper (EAPap) has been studied as an attractive Electro Active Polymer (EAP) material for artificial muscles. The feasibility of EAPap material as an actuator/sensor application is greatly dependant on piezoelectric effect. In this paper, converse and...
We set out to improve this because the relative softness of polymers makes them excellent candidates for soft sensors and actuators in a variety of areas, including biosensing, sonar, artificial muscles. and more.

Herein, a triboelectric effect-driven piezoelectric soft robot (TEPSR) system is proposed, which integrates a rotary freestanding triboelectric nanogenerator (RF-TENG) to drive a soft robot comprising a piezoelectric unimorph and electrostatic footpads. Based on the natural triboelectrification, through ...
Piezoelectric motors driven by piezoelectric materials are developed as time advances. Piezoelectric materials are a kind of smart functional materials which work with the piezoelectric effects including direct piezoelectric effect and inverse piezoelectric effect [13,14]. The direct piezoelectric effect refer...
Thus, comparative studies on the fiber size effect in nerve regeneration remain contradictory and incomplete and require further investigation. For an electrospun nerve scaffold, it is important to ensure a unidirectional alignment of fibers. Neuronal differentiation entails a number of specific events, ...
The piezoelectric effect is entirely based on the polarization generated in the active piezoelectric material and it does not require a magnetic field, a separate voltage source, or other materials for contact electrification as in the case of electromagnetic, electrostatic, and triboelectric ...
it is possible to exploit the piezoelectric effect in the material, as first observed as far back as the 1980s. However, what happens in most of the nylon's crystalline phases is that these amides formstrong hydrogen bondswith amides on other polymer chains that lock them in position, preven...
