The invention discloses a photo-thermal
actuator based on
MXenes, a photo-thermal variable device and application of the photo-thermal
actuator and the photo-thermal variable device, and relates to the technical field of intelligent materials and devices. The photo-thermal
actuator comprises a first film and a second film composed of a high-molecular
polymer and an MXene material dispersed in the high-molecular
polymer, the first film and the high-molecular
polymer form a driving layer of the photo-thermal actuator, the MXene material forms an
inert layer of the photo-thermal actuator, and the
inert layer converts
light energy into
heat energy so that the driving layer can generate
thermal expansion deformation; the photo-thermal variable device comprises a controller, a driving
light source and a photo-thermal actuator, the photo-thermal actuator can be controlled through a flexible
optical fiber, and various sensors or
flexible circuits can be further integrated to achieve specific functions; the problems that an existing photo-thermal actuator is low in working efficiency and poor in reliability are solved, and on the basis of the photo-thermal actuator and the photo-thermal change device, the photo-
thermal control flexible
crawling robot, the intelligent mechanical clamp, the
intelligent lighting system and other applications are provided.
