Belousov-Zhabotinsky autonomic hydrogel composites: Regulating waves via asymmetry
Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) autonomic hydrogel composites contain active nodes of immobilized catalyst (Ru) encased within a nonactive matrix. Designing functional hierarchies of chemical and mechanical communication between these nodes enables applications ranging from encryption, sensors, and mechanochemical actuators to artificial skin. However, robust design rules and verification of computat...
متن کاملPost-self-assembly cross-linking of molecular nanofibers for oscillatory hydrogels.
After a polymerizable hydrogelator self-assembles in water to form molecular nanofibers, post-self-assembly cross-linking allows the catalyst of the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction to be attached to the nanofibers, resulting in a hydrogel that exhibits concentration oscillations, spiral waves, and concentric waves. In addition to the first report of the observation of BZ spiral waves in a hy...
متن کاملFabrication of quasi-two-dimensional, heterogeneously curved Belousov–Zhabotinsky systems
For many years the Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction has been used to explore the large variety of dynamical behavior of excitation waves. The understanding of chemical waves can be applied to other physical and biological systems. Most theoretical and experimental work has been done in planar media, whereas for nonplanar systems there exist many theoretical but only very few experimental studies. ...
متن کاملA model for jumping and bubble waves in the Belousov–Zhabotinsky- aerosol OT system
We develop a four-variable model, based on the classic Field–Kőrös–Noyes mechanism for the oscillatory Belousov-Zhabotinsky BZ reaction, that describes recently discovered jumping waves and bubble waves in the BZ reaction in aerosol OT microemulsion and provides insight into their origins. Contrary to suggestions based on previous models, it appears that these phenomena can arise from interacti...
متن کاملComparative Analysis of Packet and Trigger Waves Originating from a Finite Wavelength Instability
The finite wavelength instability generates trigger and packet waves in an extended three-variable Brusselatortype model. The trigger waves account for experimentally observed stacking (shock) structures and acceleration of oncoming waves before collision observed in the Belousov-Zhabotinsky system. Packet waves exhibit specular reflection from surfaces. The mouth of a narrow tube connected to ...
