The present application relates to a kind of
electric heating type
liquid crystal elastomer artificial muscle and its preparation method, belong to intelligent
polymer material technical field, solve the technical problem that weak deformation capacity of
liquid crystal elastomer artificial muscle filler in prior art is too much to be hard and brittle easily.The
electric heating type
liquid crystal elastomer artificial muscle of the present application includes two
layers of
liquid crystal elastomer film and
electric heating element;
Electric heating element is set between two
layers of
liquid crystal elastomer film;The
raw material of
liquid crystal elastomer film includes liquid
crystal base element, chain
extender, crosslinking agent and catalyst;Wherein, liquid
crystal base element is 1,4- Bis-[4-(3-acryloyloxy propoxy) benzoyloxy]-2-
methyl benzene.The
joule heat generated by electric
heating element can activate liquid
crystal elastomer, and will not limit the deformation of liquid crystal elastomer, so as to show the characteristics such as strong deformation ability, controllable heating mode and time, programmable drive;Also have self-sensing function, can be monitored and regulated
shape change in real time according to the size of resistance.
