Abstract

Artificial stoma formed with multilayered structures that actuate with humidity, temperature, chemical environment or light. These actuators can be incorporated into shoes, apparel, fuel cells, machinery, and buildings to control fluid flow or diffusion to regulate humidity, temperature, chemical environment, or light. These actuators can be used as sensors, modify structure, or appearance for greater function, comfort, or aesthetics.
