A microgel self-oscillator (A07)

Subject Area Polymer Materials
Term from 2016 to 2024
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 191948804
 
This project aims to investigate a self-oscillating microgel system that is driven by continuous-wave laser light. The system consists of a thin ribbon-shaped bilayer with integrated gold nanorods and performs an oscillatory shape motion with chaotic signatures when irradiated with light. The planned work will focus on the quantitative analysis of the microgel self-oscillations through optical measurements and theoretical simulations, and endeavor to enhance the regularity of the self-oscillations for their potential use in engines.
