As an example, the book includes current research on actuators based on biomaterials to provide future perspectives for artificial muscle technology. Readers can obtain detailed, useful information about materials, methods of synthesis, fabrication, and measurements. The topics covered here not only promote further research and development of soft actuators, but also lead the way to their utilization and industrialization. One outstanding feature of the book is that it contains many color figures, diagrams, and photographs clearly describing the mechanism, apparatus, and motion of soft actuators. The chapter on modeling is conducive to more extensive design work in materials and devices and is especially useful in the development of practical applications. Readers can acquire the newest technology and information about the basic science and practical applications of flexible, lightweight, and noiseless soft actuators, which are quite unlike conventional mechanical engines and electric motors. The new ideas offered in this volume will provide inspiration and encouragement to researchers and developers as they explore new fields of applications for soft actuators. 000722639 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (viewed December 26, 2014). 000722639 650_0 $$aActuators$$xMaterials. 000722639 650_0 $$aEnergy conversion. 000722639 7001_ $$aAsaka, Kinji,$$eeditor. 000722639 7001_ $$aOkuzaki, Hidenori,$$eeditor. 000722639 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9784431547662 000722639 852__ $$bebk 000722639 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-4-431-54767-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000722639 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:722639$$pGLOBAL_SET 000722639 980__ $$aEBOOK 000722639 980__ $$aBIB 000722639 982__ $$aEbook 000722639 983__ $$aOnline 000722639 994__ $$a92$$bISE
