Recently, smart technologies that actively respond to changes in the external environment are being applied in various fields. Smart windows that respond to ultraviolet, temperature, and electrical signals are examples, which contribute to making human life a more pleasant environment. Smart interlocking aims to test whether interlocking can actively cope with environmental changes by using modulus change of material which changes according to external environment change. The hydrogel was used to change the modulus depending on the amount of water absorbed around the external moisture environment. Hydrogels are characterized by their modulus being reduced as they swell by absorbing water between polymer networks. Using this feature of the hydrogel, an asymmetric structure is created and applied to interlocking. |
