Abstract

Self-propelled objects can become potential biomimetic micromachines, but a versatile strategy is required to add the desired functions. Introducing a characteristic chemical reaction is a simple answer; however, the problem is how the chemical reaction is coupled to the self-propelled motion. We propose a strategy to select the chemical reaction so that its product or intermediate affects the driving force of a self-propelled object. To demonstrate this strategy, we put an aqueous droplet of nonlinear chemical reaction, the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction, into an oil phase including a surfactant, where an aqueous droplet was driven by an interfacial reaction of the surfactant and bromine. The results exhibited oscillation of speed, and it was synchronized with the redox oscillation of the BZ reaction in the droplet. Bromine is one of the intermediates of the BZ reaction, and thus the droplet motion well-reflected the characteristics of the BZ reaction.

摘要

自推进物体可以成为潜在的仿生微机器,但需要一种通用策略来添加所需功能。引入一种特征化学反应是一个简单的答案;然而,问题在于化学反应如何与自推进运动耦合。我们提出一种选择化学反应的策略,以使反应产物或中间体影响自推进物体的驱动力。为了证明这一策略,我们将非线性化学反应(贝洛索夫-扎博廷斯基反应,简称BZ反应)的水滴放入含有表面活性剂的油相中,其中水滴由表面活性剂与溴的界面反应驱动。结果显示出速度振荡,并且与液滴中BZ反应的氧化还原振荡同步。溴是BZ反应的中间体之一,因此液滴运动很好地反映了BZ反应的特征。
