## Abstract Novel gel systems demonstrating rhythmically pulsatile mechanical motion similar to that of a heartbeat were developed. Self‐oscillations of swelling and deswelling for the polymer hydrogels were realized by coupling pH and temperature sensitive hydrogels with a non‐linear chemical reac

## Abstract A “self‐oscillating” gel that swells and deswells periodically under constant conditions is developed as a novel biomimetic gel differing from conventional stimuli‐responsive polymer gels. By utilizing the peristaltic motion of the self‐oscillating gel, autonomous mass‐transport systems
Closing a gap in the literature, this is the first comprehensive handbook on this modern and important polymer topic. Edited by highly experienced and top scientists in the field, this ready reference covers all aspects, including material science, biopolymers, gels, phase separating systems, fron
## Abstract **Summary:** Self‐oscillating polymers and nano‐gel particles consisting of __N__‐isopropylacrylamide and the ruthenium catalyst of the Belousov‐Zhabotinsky reaction have been prepared. In order to clarify the crosslinking effect on the self‐oscillating behavior, the phase transition be
