Fig. 1: Multi-layered ATACS capable of generating multiple skin patterns with RGB coloration.
From: Biomimetic chameleon soft robot with artificial crypsis and disruptive coloration skin
a Digital image of Multi-layered ATACS and its bottom image with vertically stacked patterned heater layers. b Configuration of the multi-layered ATACS: TLC is coated on the black ink layer. Ag NWs percolation network heaters were stacked on cPI films and patterned by the UV laser ablation process. c The Ag NW heater generates heat with a joule heating mechanism. d SEM image of the cross-section of its EDS image for silver. The scale bar is 5 µm. e CIE 1931 chromaticity diagram of the ATACS and actual image of it at 25.5, 28, and 36 °C. f Coloring performance of the ATACS depending on various DC voltage. The scale bar is 1 mm. g The chameleon model with 7 of the multi-layered highly flexible ATACS patches. h Demonstration of the multi-layered ATACT patches on the chameleon model. Inset is a real chameleon with full coloring.
