Magnetic field-assisted fabrication of quasi-bilayered, multi-responsive and patternable actuators

Quasi-bilayered actuators composed of Fe3O4-decorated graphene oxide and polyvinylidene fluoride have been fabricated in a magnetic field. The actuators could stably respond to multiple stimuli including infrared light, acetone vapour and a magnetic field. The actuator is also patternable because of the magnetism-induced spatial distribution of fillers in the matrix. A quasi-bilayered, multi-responsive, and patternable actuator composed of Fe3O4-decorated graphene oxide and polyvinylidene fluoride was reported.
