Abstract

We reported an electro-driven chemomechanical hydrogel showing quick responses with worm-like motility. The principle of the motion is based on the molecular assembly reaction of cationic surfactant and negatively charged hydrogel. And direction of complexation accompanying gel contraction is controlled by changing the polarity of the applied electric field. Both thermodynamics and kinetics of surfactant binding and diffusion are investigated experimentally and theoretically. We also reported shape memory hydrogel by order-disorder transition of alkyl side chain, and some examples od friction of hydrogels showing that frictional behaviors of hydorgels do not conform to Amonton's law.
