Thermally conductive nanopaths in a silicon soft actuator

In the present study, the effect of using nanographene and nanographene oxide on the performance of a silicon-ethanol soft robot was investigated. In fact, the effect of making a nanocomposite on improving the heat distribution in the robot was investigated. The main heat source in this robot is a nickel-chromium coil. In order to improve the heat transfer in the composite, two nanoparticles of graphene and graphene oxide were used. The results of the study of the nanocomposites show that graphene can improve the thermal conductivity with a similar weight percentage compared to graphene oxide. Graphene had a faster operating time of ۵۰۰ seconds in ۱۰ duty cycles compared to the sample without nanoparticles.
