N2 - Intelligent multifunctional materials with active stiffness adjustment have a wide range of application prospects in the fields of medical devices, construction, soft robots and industrial machinery. However, creating such material that can respond rapidly to stiffness with wide range, which still remains a major challenge.In this paper, we have developed a smart variable stiffness material based on liquid metal which can adjust the its stiffness actively and quickly by the effect of magnetic field or temperature change. LMVSM consists of three parts: a gallium ferromagnetorheological layer, a chromium wire layer, which provides heating, a soft radiation layer for cooling. The stiffness of LMVSM band can be rapidly increased fourfold by the effect of external magnetic filed, and solidified Ga-Fe MRF stiffness can increase tenfold when the temperature is lowered. Finally, the new material is connected with a pneumatic robot gripper that actively regulates its load capacity, demonstrating its potential to be further developed into a smart component that can be widely used in smart devices.
