Problems solved by technology

However, each drive cycle of the currently reported shape memory gel actuators requires an external force to first fix the gel into a temporary shape (ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces 2016, 8, 12384−12392; Macromol. Mater. Eng. 2017, 302, 1600359), and the spontaneous transformation of the gel between the temporary shape and the original shape cannot be achieved, so the operation of the gel driver is more complicated
At the same time, the currently reported dopamine gel has low mechanical strength and cannot withstand large stretching, compression or repeated deformation, which greatly restricts the application of dopamine gel in the field of actuators.

Abstract

The invention discloses a self-driving dopamine gel driver, a preparation method and a driving manner thereof. The dopamine gel driver is prepared in the manner of copolymerizing dopamine methacrylamide and acrylamide monomers into a gel, soaking the gel in a Fe3+ solution for treating and then acquiring a fixed temporary shape in an alkaline solution. The dopamine gel driver can realize the driving function of automatically changing the shape of the hydrogel in the solution according to the method of changing the pH value of the solution.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of intelligent materials of functional dopamine polymers, in particular to a spontaneously driven dopamine gel driver and its preparation method and driving mode. Background technique [0002] Gel contains a large amount of solvent and has the characteristics of soft matter due to its perfect three-dimensional network structure, which has the advantages of weak stimulation-strong response, less addition-big effect, mild driving conditions, etc.; and soft matter drives, especially gel drives The development in the field of smart devices is receiving increasing attention. [0003] In the study of gel actuators, shape memory gel actuators can return to the original shape from a temporary shape, which is a widely studied gel actuator. However, each driving cycle of the shape memory gel driver reported so far requires an external force to first fix the gel into a temporary shape (ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces 2016,8, 12384−...
