Embodiment 1

[0023] A 20% polyacrylonitrile N,N-dimethylformamide solution with an average molecular weight of 80,000 was prepared. Then it was prepared into polyacrylonitrile microfibers with a size of hundreds of nanometers by electrospinning. After cross-linking at 220 degrees Celsius for 1 hour, the microfibers were treated in 1 mol / l sodium hydroxide aqueous solution at 90 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes, and finally washed and dried to obtain acid-base response composed of cross-linked polyacrylic acid. artificial muscle material. The material shrinks under acidic conditions and stretches under alkaline conditions.

Embodiment 2

[0025] A 20% polyacrylonitrile N,N-dimethylformamide solution with an average molecular weight of 80,000 was prepared. Then, the polyacrylonitrile microfibers with a size of hundreds of nanometers arranged in alignment were prepared by electrospinning by using a collection device composed of parallel iron wire arrays connected side by side with an interval of 2 mm. After cross-linking the superfine fibers at 220 degrees Celsius for 1 hour, treat them in 1mol / l sodium hydroxide aqueous solution at 90 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes, and finally wash and dry them to obtain cross-linked polyacrylic acid superfine fibers with orientation alignment. Acid-base responsive artificial muscle material. The material can shrink or stretch by controlling acid and alkali conditions.

Embodiment 3

[0027]A N,N-dimethylformamide solution of polyacrylonitrile with an average molecular weight of 80,000 with a mass concentration of 20% and carbon nanotubes with a mass concentration of 1% was prepared. Then, polyacrylonitrile microfibers with a size of hundreds of nanometers arranged in alignment were prepared by electrospinning. After cross-linking at 220 degrees Celsius for 1 hour, the ultra-fine fibers are treated in 1 mol / l sodium hydroxide aqueous solution at 90 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes, and finally cleaned and dried to obtain carbon nanotubes with improved strength and alignment. Acid-base responsive artificial muscle material composed of cross-linked polyacrylic acid microfibers.

Abstract

The present invention is process of preparing bionic artificial muscle material based on superfine electrically spun fiber and capable of being used in sensor, executor robot and other fields. The bionic artificial muscle material is film comprising oriented superfine fiber of 20 nm-10 micron diameter. It is prepared through an electrical spinning process including the following steps: 1. formingsolution or melt of polymer material for the artificial muscle; 2. electrically spinning to form oriented superfine fiber film; and 3. treating the superfine fiber film for raised stretching function. The bionic artificial muscle material has high response speed, high energy converting efficiency and other advantages.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an artificial muscle material, its preparation and application, especially the preparation of a functionally responsive material with volume change into an oriented superfine fiber material with a telescopic function. Background technique [0002] Natural muscle can directly convert chemical energy into mechanical energy isothermally and efficiently. Its high efficiency, no noise, no pollution, small size, flexible structure distributed direct drive and special servo performance are very attractive, so it has become a dream of imitation. Object. For this reason, people have developed a functional polymer material that has the above-mentioned characteristics similar to natural muscles-artificial muscle polymer material AMP (artificial muscle polymer). [0003] Artificial muscle polymer materials are mainly divided into chemical-mechanical and electrochemical-mechanical artificial muscle polymer materials. These artificial musc...
