Abstract This work presents an efficient low-cost method for the preparation of new artificial muscle fiber material. The liquid metal heater is completely embedded into the artificial muscle fiber, so that the material possesses both the excellent actuation performance of liquid crystal elastomer and the liquid-like deformability of liquid metal. This structure can avoid the muscle fiber failure phenomenon caused by the heater damage when the muscle fiber deforms greatly. Using infrared camera and tensile testing machine, the driving performance of the new artificial muscle fiber material was analyzed, including its surface temperature, shrinkage and tensile force affected by the change of current, heating time and material size. The results show that the new artificial muscle fiber material has good flexibility, drive ability and high deformation resistance, which has certain guiding significance for the design and development of the flexible system of the liquid crystal elastomer drive mechanism. This method can be widely used in the design and development of soft robots, artificial limbs and biomedical equipment.
