Figure 5. Coiled LLDPE actuators composed of electrical resistive heater.

Figure 5

(a) Actuation of LLDPE/heating-wire under various loads. A diameter of the fibres are same as in Fig. 4a,b. (b) Photographs of actuators attached to a fabric glove taken from (left) the back side and (right) palm side. Six LLDPE/heating-wires are attached to the glove. The dashed line in (a) indicates movement when the actuator is bent 6 mm from the extended position with a finger.
