Abstract
Biodegradable Soft Actuators
In article number 2400450, Jun Shintake, Gustav Nyström, and co-workers present biodegradable soft pneumatic actuators made from cellulose nanofibrils and gelatin, offering an eco-friendly alternative to silicone grippers in robotics. These 3D printed actuators match the performance of those from traditional silicone while using exclusively non-toxic and biodegradable materials. Their self-healing properties and mold-free design open new possibilities for applications in sustainable healthcare, packaging, green robotics and environmental monitoring.
