Artificial muscles from synthetic fibers
One of the world's most robust polymer fibers, more than twelve times stronger than kevlar - the type of material used to make bulletproof jerseys - is likely to be chosen as an artificial muscle.

Researchers at Hanyang University in South Korea have published a polymer fiber that is described as ' the world's most powerful, more than 12 times stronger than kevlar, the material being used to make bulletproof jerseys. '.
South Korean scientists have simulated the structure of spider silk and added graphite and carbon nanotubes to create a new synthetic polymer.
In addition to its special hardening properties, the yarn is electrically conductive, well suited for creating intelligent clothing or even artificial muscle tissue.
The researchers said they still have to carry out more tests before putting the yarn into mass production. However, this is considered to be a highly applicable invention in many fields, especially in the field of muscle regeneration.
