自振蕩高分子（Self-oscillating Polymers，SOPs）是智能高分子研究的前沿領域。與傳統智能高分子不同，SOPs以化學自振蕩反應作為驅動源，體系的狀態可以在沒有任何外界“開-關”刺激的條件下自主調控。基于其自主響應的性質，SOPs在自主凝膠驅動器、模擬人工細胞等方面展示出誘人的應用前景。本文結合自振蕩高分子領域的新進展，從模塊化設計的角度介紹自振蕩高分子體系的原理、構筑及在線表征方法。
Inspired by the self-oscillating phenomena in nature, such as heartbeat, brain waves, pulsatile secretion of hormones, cell cycles and biorhythms, a new kind of responsive polymers, so-called the self-oscillating polymers (SOPs) are developed. Different from the traditional responsive polymers, SOPs are driven by chemical oscillating reactions and exhibit autonomous response without “ON/OFF” switching of external stimuli. From the perspective of modular design, we explore the principle, construction and integral control of SOP systems based on the recent developments. Attention is also paid to the emergent techniques for on-line study of self-oscillating behaviors and engineering approaches to novel SOP systems with unique functions and high oscillating performances.
