In general, if the atoms that make up the ring contain heteroatoms, such rings become heterocycles, and organic compounds containing heterocycles are called heterocyclic compounds. An article called Multiresponse Shape-Memory Nanocomposite with a Reversible Cycle for Powerful Artificial Muscles, published in 2021-02-09, which mentions a compound: 693-67-4, Name is 1-Bromoundecane, Molecular C11H23Br, Name: 1-Bromoundecane.
In the field of bionic soft robots and microrobots, artificial muscle materials have exhibited unique potential for cutting-edge applications. However, current mainstream thermal-responsive artificial muscles based on semicrystalline polymers (SCPs), despite their excellent phys. properties, suffer from the limitation of environmental stimuli in practice, while their photodriven counterparts adopting liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) lack ductility. Herein, a novel multifunctional programmable artificial muscle with a unique patch-sewing structure formed by π-π stacking between azobenzene groups was designed, which combined the advantages of SCPs and LCEs. The nanocomposite demonstrated a unique combination between artificial muscle performance (46.5 times the energy d. and 26.6 times the power d. of human skeletal muscles) and programmability (274.84% strain and 100% shape-memory recovery rate within 1 s). Meanwhile, coupling the photoisomerization of azobenzene and the photothermal conversion of gold nanorods, the cycle of deformation triggered by UV light and restoring by IR light could be accomplished rapidly within 30 s. A COMSOL Multiphysics model was established and the corresponding finite element anal. verified the photoactuation and captured the general principle of light initiation in elastomers. These demonstrate that the multifunctional programmable elastomer is promising for artificial muscle applications, especially for photoinduced actuation.
There is still a lot of research devoted to this compound(SMILES：CCCCCCCCCCCBr)Name: 1-Bromoundecane, and with the development of science, more effects of this compound(693-67-4) can be discovered.
