Fig. 14. Time course of peristaltic motion of microphase-separated self-oscillating gel in 8ml
of the mixture solution of the BZ substrates (62.5 mM malonic acid, 84mM sodium bromate,
0.894M nitric acid, 18°C). The green and orange colors correspond to the oxidized and
reduced state of Ru moiety in the gel, respectively. S. Maeda et al., Peristaltic motion of
