Abstract
A naturally derived polymer based on iota carrageenan and different ammonium and imidazolium based ionic liquids (ILs) are used for the development of environmentally friendly soft actuators.
Highlights
Smart materials possess the ability to change their properties in a controlled manner in response to external stimuli.[1]
It is important to notice that increasing the ionic liquids (ILs) content up to 40% w/w led to a more compact structure, indicating that, independently of the [Ch][DHP] concentration, the IL is embedded into the carrageenan matrix
Novel naturally derived materials based on iota-carrageenan and different ammonium and imidazolium based ionic liquids (ILs) were developed for actuator applications. [Ch][DHP]/carrageenan samples comprising different [Ch][DHP] contents (10, 20 and 40% w/w) and [Ch][FeCl4], [Bmim][FeCl4] and [Bmim][C(CN)3]/carrageenan samples incorporating 40% w/w of IL were developed
Summary
Smart materials possess the ability to change their properties in a controlled manner in response to external stimuli.[1].
