Abstract
Disclosed herein are moisture-responsive composites capable of undergoing a shape change upon exposure to moisture. The composites include a moisture-responsive layer that includes a moisture-responsive polymer system. The moisture-responsive layer is laminated to a backing layer. Upon exposure to moisture, the moisture-responsive composite bends from a first position to a second position.
