Soft actuators can manipulate and precisely control the fluid motion at the microscale and may play an important role in fluid transportation in many biological systems. Here, we have presented a two-dimensional (2D) material-based 3D printed system for the fabrication of porous soft actuators that display different actuations under the organic fluid stimulus. The few atomic layered thin chromite sheets (natural ores) show significant changes in their physical properties due to the strong interaction with organic molecules. The composite film is capable of showing controllable and sophisticated motions such as twisting, bending, rolling, and flipping in response to chemical stimuli. The introduction of porosity in the composite film dramatically increases the dynamic performances, detection range, and sensitivity. As a result, a high actuation (twisting angle) of ?540 5 and response time of ?0.9 s was achieved, which significantly enhanced the device performance. Finally, to offer further flexibility and controlled structural alterations, we designed a snail, leaf, and worm-like soft actuators that expand the practical applications. 2025 Elsevier Ltd Subject The topic of the resource 2D materials; 3D printing; Artificial motion; Chemical stimuli; Soft-actuators Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Elsevier Ltd Relation A related resource ISSN: 24685194; Language A language of the resource English Type The nature or genre of the resource Article Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource All Open Access; Hybrid Gold Open Access Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource online
