Soft Actuators Based on Nanomaterials Functionalized LCPs

4 Soft Actuators Based on Nanomaterials Functionalized LCPs 

As mentioned in Sect. 10.3.2, nanomaterials can be utilized to allow design flexibility of the wavelength of the stimulating light source triggering the photomechanical behavior of LCPs. At the same time, the functionalization of LCPs has been achieved by the incorporation of nanomaterials, which greatly extends their applications in many fields. Compared to another important class of smart moving
