Fig. 1: The construction of polyaniline composite film for implementing light-programmable mechanical computing.
From: Light-programmable mechanical computing via polyaniline composite film
a Schematic representation of the typical polyaniline composite film (PCF) structure, consisting of three layers: a polyaniline-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PANi-PNIPAm) layer (purple), a silver nanowires (Ag NWs) layer (sky blue), and a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layer (light green). The yellow spheres represent electrons. b-i The reversible bending deformations of the PCF, induced by variations in light and humidity, result in the deformation of the conductive pathways. ii The corresponding optical images of the above process. Scale bar: 3 mm. c The operating mechanism of light-programmable mechanical computing. The terms SPST and SPDT refer to single-pole single-throw and single-pole double-throw relays, respectively. The yellow-green cylinders represent the SPDT, while the blue cuboids represent the SPST.
