提出了一种新型梯度结构自激振荡凝胶驱动器，该驱动器在无外界激励的情况下，通过固定凝胶的一侧边缘产生单摆运动。该凝胶是由用于Belousov-Zhabotinsky反应的钌催化剂与N-异丙基丙烯酰胺和2-丙烯酰胺基-2-甲基丙磺酸共聚而成。此外，我们澄清了凝胶致动器的自振荡行为的周期和振幅是可控的，通过改变凝胶的组成，温度和尺寸。新型凝胶致动器的最大振幅比传统的自振荡凝胶系统的最大振幅大约100倍。
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-mthylpropane 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.
