Abstract

The invention discloses an electrochemically-driven artificial muscle fiber as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The electrochemically-driven artificial muscle fiber comprises at least one strand of muscle yarn, wherein the muscle yarn is at least obtained by sequentially pre-crimping, stranding and twisting a plurality of carbon nanotube narrow bands until a uniform spiral structure is formed, or the muscle yarn is at least obtained by twisting a single carbon nanotube narrow band until the uniform spiral structure is formed. According to the preparation method of the electrochemically-driven artificial muscle fiber, the plurality of carbon nanotube narrow bands are pre-crimped, stranded and twisted to obtain the muscle yarn, or the carbon nanotube narrow bands are directly twisted to obtain the muscle yarn; the obtained muscle yarn has a spiral or threaded structure, so that the specific surface area of the carbon nanotube narrow bands is increased; a large numberof micro-nano pore passages are introduced into the artificial muscle fiber, and the energy density and the driving stroke of the artificial muscle fiber are improved in a bunching or stranding mode.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation method of artificial muscle fibers, in particular to an electrochemically driven artificial muscle fiber and its preparation method and application, belonging to the technical field of material science. Background technique [0002] Natural organisms use muscle fibers as the power plant to achieve the effect of drive. Artificial Muscle is a new type of intelligent driving material that can produce reversible stretching and rotating motions under external stimuli (light, electricity, heat, solvents, magnetism, etc.). Robots and other aspects have important application prospects. How to simulate biological muscles and prepare artificial muscle fibers is a hot topic recently devoted to research by scientists. The research and development of high-performance artificial muscle fibers will greatly promote the design of small, strong and flexible robots and prosthetics, and can be applied in the field of biomedicine. ...
