Abstract

In this paper, we report the general design of a two-axis bendable flexible skin and its companion fabrication method. Conventional flexible skins can only bend along one axis. For example, they may be rolled onto a circular cylinder conformally but not onto a sphere. Our flexible skin features a novel interwoven structure inspired by cloth fabric. The horizontal and vertical threads of the skin are not connected; they are free to slide and rotate against each other, therefore enabling the skin to adjust its shape to conform to complex curvatures. To demonstrate the potential for future applications, we have embedded passive RF elements (planar coil inductors) inside the skin. The inductance value is experimentally determined to be 106 µ H.

采用光刻编织法制备具有两轴弯曲能力的柔性蒙皮

本文报道了一种两轴可弯曲柔性蒙皮的总体设计及其配套制造方法。传统的柔性蒙皮只能沿一个轴弯曲。例如，它们可以滚到一个圆柱上，但不能滚到一个球体上。我们灵活的皮肤具有新颖的交织结构，灵感来自布料。所述蒙皮的水平线和垂直线不连接;它们可以自由地相互滑动和旋转，因此使皮肤能够调整其形状以符合复杂的曲率。为了展示未来应用的潜力，我们在皮肤内嵌入了无源射频元件(平面线圈电感器)。实验确定电感值为106µH。
