Artificial muscles are one of the developed robots in soft robotic science, which have played a significant role in helping disabled people not only in orthopedic fields but also in Tissue and Biomaterial Engineering. Phase Change Materials (PCM), are one of the important components of these robots that cause chemical-stability and flexibility in soft robots which make them a user friendly gadget. Herein, we have utilized a soft robot using a three-component hybrid composite of Silicone- Ethanol- Electrospun carbon nanofibers ribon, in which Ethanol is its PCM and carbon nanofibers were used as conductive pace. According to Scanninng Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Heat tretment tests results, in the present of 0.1wt% electrospun nanofibers , the robots heat conductivity increased which decreased ethanol vaporation from 84% to 51% without decreasing the total strain (20%) in system, however adding 0.5wt% of these nanofibers leads to increasing the structural defects and rigidity, which decreased the total strain to about 10%.
