Environmentally responsive optical microstructured hybrid actuator assemblies and applications thereof

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1234686
Microstructured hybrid actuator assemblies in which microactuators carrying designed surface properties to be revealed upon actuation are embedded in a layer of responsive materials. The microactuators in a microactuator array reversibly change their configuration in response to a change in the environment without requiring an external power source to switch their optical properties.
