Osmotic actuator free bulging. After providing a schematic representation of the main components and assembly of the osmotic actuator, this video shows the free bulging deformation of the actuator elastomeric disk, as obtained for a 2 M NaCl solution. The characteristic time for such an actuation is 2 min.
