Abstract

By forming and directionally freezing an aqueous foam containing cellulose nanofibrils, methylcellulose, and tannic acid, we produced a stiff and tough anisotropic solid foam with low radial thermal conductivity. Along the ice-templating direction, the foam was as stiff as nanocellulose-clay composites, despite being primarily methylcellulose by mass. The foam was also stiff perpendicular to the direction of ice growth, while maintaining λ

Abstract

Bilayer actuators, traditionally consisting of two laminated materials, are the most common types of soft or hybrid actuators. Herein, a nanomaterial‐based organic–inorganic humidity‐sensitive bilayer actuator composed of TEMPO‐oxidized cellulose nanofibrils (TCNF‐Na+) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets is presented. The hybrid actuator displays a large humidity‐driven locomotion with an atypical fast unbending. Cationic exchange of the anionically charged TCNF‐Na+ and control of the layer thickness is used to tune and dictate the locomotion and actuator's response to humidity variations. Assembly of a self‐oscillating electrical circuit, that includes a conductive rGO layer, displays autonomous on‐and‐off lighting in response to actuation‐driven alternating electrical heating.
