Bionic neuromuscular fiber as well as preparation method and use thereof

Abstract

The present application discloses a bionic neuromuscular fiber as well as a preparation method and use thereof. The bionic neuromuscular fiber comprises a carbon nanotube fiber core, an intermediate layer, a substrate layer and a sensing layer which are coaxially and successively sheathed from inside to outside, and is twisted to form a helical shape; the intermediate layer and the substrate layer are both made of polymer materials, and the thermal expansion coefficient of the intermediate layer is larger than that of the substrate layer; the sensing layer comprises a carbon-based conductive material at least containing MXene. In the present application, the sensing layer and the intermediate layer are both multifunctional, the sensing layer is used as not only a capacitor electrode but also a resistance sensing element, the intermediate layer is used as not only a thermal driving element but also a dielectric layer, thus the present application realizes the integration of three functions such as proximity perception, electrothermal driving and motion feedback at a lower structural complexity, thereby providing a broader space for the development of flexible robots.
