内容简介：

Three successive generations of twist-spun artificial muscles are described that provide both torsional and tensile actuation. Our first generation of twist-spun muscles, which are electrochemically powered by volume changes induced by double-layer charge injection. Our second generation muscles, which require no electrolyte and are based on guest-infiltrated carbon nanotube yarns. Our third generation muscles, which are thermally, electrothermally, or chemically powered polymer fibers.These polymer muscles can be cheaply made from fishing line or sewing thread.
