Microcoils are used in various mech. devices. However, existing methods for producing microcoils from polymers often require expensive equipment. In this study, microcoils were prepared using a cost-effective and simple method. The material used was silicone, which is a biocompatible polymeric material. Silicone was solidified inside glass capillaries to form thin, straight strings with a diameter of 140¦Ìm. The string was then transformed to a coil shape by oxidation using UV-ozone treatment while it was prestretched and pretwisted. The resilience force from the prestretching and pretwisting forces caused the string to bend and twist, resp. As a result of the combination of these deformation modes, a coil was formed. As an application of the coils, an actuator was prepared, which repeatedly transforms between straight and coiled shapes. The actuation was caused by the swelling/deswelling of silicone with hexane. A large strain of 54% was obtained.
