看看这个视频从肉gie Mellon. It demonstrates the thermally conductive “thubber” material (bottom, labeled LMEE) as it stretches and dissipates the heat of an embedded LED light. The plain rubber material (top) cannot dissipate the heat and ultimately breaks apart under the strain. The second part of the video shows the caudal fin locomotion of a robotic fish. Its thermal actuator is made of “thubber.”
