Design of novel autonomous oscillating gels with high generative force

生物体有一个耗散结构的系统。在这个系统中，有几个自主现象表现出自发振荡，而不需要任何开关的外部刺激，如代表膜电位，心跳，昼夜节律，等等。如果凝胶具有自振荡功能，如生物运动的实现，新的仿生驱动器，自行走机器人和自跳动的微泵，可能成为可行的。在这项研究中，目的是实现具有高生成力的自振荡凝胶。

Living organisms have a system with dissipative structures. In this system, there are several autonomic phenomena exhibiting spontaneous oscillation that do not require any on-off switching of external stimuli, as represented by membrane potential, heartbeat, circadian rhythm, and so on. If gels with self-oscillating functionality like biological motions are realized, novel biomimetic actuators, self-walking robots and self-beating micropumps, could become feasible. In this study, the purpose is a realization of self oscillating gels with high generative force.
