Coil Formation and Biomimetic Performance Characterization of Twisted Coiled Polymer Artificial Muscles
The mechanical performance of LLDPE TCPAs enables biomimetic actuation with an intelligent control and measurement system. Their high-throughput textile manufacturability positions them for advanced biomechatronic applications - including prosthetics and exoskeletons.
