Abstract

Superior strain-responsive graphene sheets with load tolerance have been demonstrated, which have the maximum available strain response of up to 0.85%, four times higher than that for carbon nanotube based actuators. The high strain response plus the capability for loading makes the graphene promising as building blocks for fabricating advanced actuator systems.
