Title:
SELF-INDUCED VIBRATION GEL CONTAINING IRON COMPLEX SITE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2014210260
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inexpensive self-induced vibration gel which is self-driven by converting a Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction (BZ reaction) directly into mechanical energy, without use of an external power source or an external controller, and does not use a rare-metal ruthenium-based complex.SOLUTION: The type of the catalyst is changed advantageously from a rare metal to a base metal by introducing an Fe(bpy)complex to the principal chain of a gel through a chemical bond by using a monomer including an iron-bipyridium (Fe(bpy)) complex, leading to substantial cost reduction and stabilization of the available amount and costs, an important problem for mass production.
