Mechanochemical Instabilities in Active Gels

Chemomechanical Instabilities in Responsive Materials

Abstract

Stimuli-responsive polymers and their application to smart materials have been widely studied. On the other hand, as a novel bio-mimetic polymer, we have been studying a polymer with an autonomous self-oscillating function by utilizing oscillating chemical reactions. The self-oscillating polymer is composed of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm), in which Ru(bpy)3 is incorporated as a catalyst for the BZ reaction. Under the coexistence of the BZ reactants (malonic acid, sodium bromate, and nitric acid), the polymer undergoes spontaneous cyclic soluble-insoluble changes or swelling-deswelling changes (in the case of gel) without any on-off switching of external stimuli. In this chapter, our recent studies on the self-oscillating polymer and the design of functional material systems using the polymer are summarized.
