Note:
We request funds to support equipment purchases for a proposed ONR program on electrochemical artificial muscle and mechanical energy harvester yarns. This Raman microscope will also enable our characterization of the radially dependent processes that are important for actuation and mechanical energy harvesting. In addition, we will make a radically new type of yarn in the proposed program, where the radial dependence of yarn bias angle is engineered to maximize either muscle or harvester performance, and the Raman microscope will enable our experimental measurement of this radial dependence of bias angle, well as the radial dependence of the processes that enable actuation and mechanical energy harvesting.
