Reversible Actuation Of Folded Multilayered Graphene By Electrostatic Forces For Nano-Gripper Application

We studied bending of multilayered graphene into 3D structure. In this paper, we proposed a nanogripper folded by multilayered graphene as one of the 3D device. The nanogripper is actuated by electro static forces to open and close. The multilayered graphene was fabricated by focused ion beam (FIB) to form nano-gripper design. Reversible action is realized by controlled two different electrodes. In the experimental section, the relationship of actuation distance and applied voltage was evaluated for folded multilayered graphene.
