Polyvinyl chloride gel based electro-active switchable bio-inspired adhesive - ScienceDirect
Source: sciencedirect.com
Article summary:
1. This article presents a novel switchable electro-active adhesive based on polyvinyl chloride (PVC) gel, which is inspired by the active muscular locomotion of gecko toes.
2. The performance of PVC gel actuator, adhesive, and electro-active adhesive are stable and it exhibited greater adhesion force and response speed compared to other reported reversible adhesives.
3. This work provides a new technology for micro/nano manipulation, transfer printing, and climbing robot applications.
Article analysis:
The article “Polyvinyl chloride gel based electro-active switchable bio-inspired adhesive” is an informative piece that provides an overview of the development of a novel switchable electro-active adhesive based on polyvinyl chloride (PVC) gel. The article is well written and provides detailed information about the design and performance of the PVC gel actuator, adhesive, and electro-active adhesive.
