Abstract

In this study, we fabricated a PVC gel-based bending actuator and evaluated its bending degree and response time based on the length of the PVC gel. The actuator with a shorter length of PVC gel exhibited a greater angular change compared to the longer actuator. The bending actuators with PVC gel lengths of 15, 17, and 19 mm bent to maximum angles of 36º, 33º, and 19º, with the time to reach these maximum angles being 5, 11, and 12 seconds. These experimental results demonstrate the bending angle performance of PVC gel-based bending actuators based on the length of the PVC gel.
