Abstract

Self-regulation of the dynamic actuation of a chemical oscillating reaction-based gel was realized by altering the network structure of the gradient double network gel. We demonstrated that the propagation mode of the chemical wave was influenced by the network structure, and consequently determined the dynamic feature of the gel actuator.
