Control of the Dynamic Motion of a Gel Actuator Driven by the Belousov‐Zhabotinsky Reaction
Authors:Shingo Maeda  Yusuke Hara  Ryo Yoshida  Shuji Hashimoto
Abstract:A novel self‐oscillating gel actuator with gradient structure, which generates a pendulum motion by fixing one edge of the gel without external stimuli was achieved. The gel was synthesized by copolymerizing the ruthenium catalyst for the Belousov‐Zhabotinsky reaction with N‐isopropylacrylamide and 2‐acrylamido‐2‐methylpropane sulfonic acid. Furthermore, we clarified that the period and amplitude for the self‐oscillating behavior of the gel actuator are controllable by changing the composition, temperature, and size of the gel. The maximum amplitude of the novel gel actuator is about a 100 times larger than that of the conventional self‐oscillating gel system.
