Solid 3He

A pressure compactor has been assembled for spin-polarized liquid and solid 3He experiments. In place of a Kapton diaphragm, a beryllium–copper spring–bellows combination was used to attain a large volume change of 3He. The spring was specially designed and tested to ensure that its displacement at low temperature was a reversible process.

Large Volume Change

A close-knit CNTs coating that in-situ grown on the SiOx particles realizes the “soft-combination” between SiOx and CNTs, thus conquering the long-lasting issues of poor conductivity and large volume change of SiOx faced.

Buoyancy Control

Abstract The buoyancy control mechanism is critical for undersea robots to achieve effective vertical motion. However, current buoyancy control mechanisms are associated with problems such as complex design, bulky structure, noisy operation, and slow response. Inspired by the swim bladder of natural fish, we develop an artificial swim bladder, using dual membranes of the dielectric elastomer, which exhibit interesting attributes, including fast response, light weight, silent operation, especially large volume change. Both the experiments and theoretical simulations are conducted to analyze the performance of this artificial swim bladder, and they quantitatively agree with each other. This artificial swim bladder of dual membranes is capable of large voltage-induced volume change, 112% larger than the conventional single-membrane design. Consequently, this soft actuator can generate a buoyancy force of 0.49 N. This artificial swim bladder demonstrates effective up-and-down motion in water, due to its large reversible volume change. Future work includes adding horizontal-motion and turning capabilities to the existing robotic structure, so that the soft robotic fish can achieve successful navigation in undersea environments.
