Popis: |
Space-resolved stimulation of active hydrogel layers can be achieved for example by using a micro-heater array. In the current work, we present the interaction of (i) such a rigid array of heating elements that can be selectively activated and (ii) an active thermo-responsive hydrogel layer that responds to the local stimulus change. Due to the respective local actuation, (iii) the surface form of a passive top-layer can be manipulated. We present continuum-based simulative predictions based on the Temperature Expansion Model and compare them to experimental outcomes for the system. |
