Actuators based on liquid crystals have garnered significant attention due to their potential applications in wearable technology and bionic soft robots. Composite films composed of crystal polymer networks (LCNs) other stimulus-responsive materials exhibit the capability convert external stimuli into mechanical deformation. However, development sunlight-driven actuators presents challenges, primarily relatively low intensity sunlight limited conversion efficiency photothermal materials. In this paper, we present a composite film fabricated using poly(vinylidene fluoride) doped with carbon nanopowders (PC) as material combined hybrid-alignment network film. Under midday sun during summer, is heated from room temperature 74.5 °C quickly, resulting substantial angle change 235°. Additionally, by can demonstrate phototactic light-avoiding rolling behaviors. This sunlight-drivable shows considerable promise for research devices powered natural light.

Abstract This work introduces a novel composite film actuator with dual actuation mechanisms, responsive to four distinct stimuli, and featuring infrared stealth as well amphibious locomotion capabilities. By encapsulating nanoscale VO 2 phase‐change materials PMMA coating them onto thin of micrometer‐scale Ti 3 C T x MXene, the achieves efficient photothermal conversion, high electrical conductivity, humidity‐responsive actuation. The is integrated into millirobots capable crawling, grasping, oscillating, achieving unrestricted movement on water surfaces. These demonstrate rapid response, stability, outstanding performance in both terrestrial aquatic environments, 90° angular change s, crawling speed 10 mm min −1 land, swimming 174 water. Additionally, this proposes mechanism based moisture absorption contraction properties further expanding application potential millirobots. advancements enable navigate confined spaces transport sensitive items without being detected by sensors. represents substantial leap forward soft robotics science, paving way for exploration advanced tailored complex applications.

This study investigates the fabrication and characterization of heat-responsive PLA/PU/MXene shape memory polymer blend nanocomposites with varying PLA content (10, 20, 30, 50%) a fixed MXene 0.5 wt.%. The results indicate significant improvements in mechanical properties, 50% showing 300% increase ultimate tensile strength 90% decrease % elongation compared to pure PU. Additionally, exhibited 400% flexural strength. Microstructural analysis revealed dispersed pores sea–island morphology PU blend. Thermal using DSC showed an crystallinity from 33% (pure PU) 45% for blend, indicating enhanced crystalline domains due semi-crystalline nature MXene’s influence on molecular ordering. TGA demonstrated improvement thermal stability, onset temperature rising 185 °C 212 degradation increasing 370 425 attributed rigid structure stabilizing effect. Shape testing that 30% achieved best fixity recovery optimal performance, whereas higher diminished behavior.
