| Research Abstract |
We found the volume oscillation of the microphase-separated, self-oscillating gel above the volume phase transition temperature. The volume change of the gel is explained by a change of the interaction parameter, which is induced by the hydration and dehydration of the polymer chain due to the valance change of the metal catalyst below the volume phase transition temperature.In contrast, the volume change of the gel is explained by a change of the Donnan osmotic pressure.
