▎ 摘  要

Laser-induced graphene (LIG) represents a fastspeed and low-cost method to prepare the customizable graphene-based patterns in complex configurations with exceptional electrical performance. This paper presents the applications of LIG formed on the commercial polyimide (PI) film as the stretchable strain sensor and electrical-actuated actuators. First, the conductive performances of the LIG were systematically revealed under different fabrication conditions via investigating the effects of processing parameters, and the fluence of the laser was experimentally demonstrated as the only crucial parameter to evaluate the LIG formation, facilitating the selection of optimized manufacturing parameters to prepare the LIG with desired electrical performances. Then, the LIG-based strain sensor which can undergo over 50% tensile strain was fabricated by transfer of the LIG from the PI film to polydimethylsiloxane. The variety of LIG-based electro-thermal actuators to achieve pre-designed 3D architectures was presented, along with their parameter analysis. After incorporating the multimeter system, the actuator can even feedback its transformation from 2D precursor to 3D architecture by monitoring the resistance variation of LIG, revealing the integrated capability of our design in serving as sensors and actuators. Finally, the wearable glove with the LIG sensors was presented to demonstrate its ability to remotely control the soft robotic hand.
