Abstract

Abstract : A bilayer actuator made of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and boron nitride (BN) is developed that can withstand high temperatures. The bilayer actuator can be powered quickly to a temperature up to 2000 K within 100 ms and can operate at frequencies from sub‐Hertz to about 30 Hz due to the low heat capacity of the thin CNT layer.
