| Research Abstract |
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.
