1. Drug Delivery Systems: Chemical actuators are used in targeted drug delivery, where they release medication at specific sites within the body in response to chemical signals. 2. Microfluidics: In microfluidic devices, chemical actuators control the flow of fluids through tiny channels, enabling precise manipulation of small volumes of liquids. 3. Soft Robotics: Chemical actuators are employed in soft robotics to create flexible and adaptable movements, mimicking natural muscle movements. 4. Environmental Sensing: These actuators can be integrated into sensors to detect and respond to environmental changes, such as pH levels or the presence of specific chemicals.
