Beschreibung
This book describes a new family of bio-polymer
gels made from cytoskeletal proteins - actin, microtubule, and
tropomyosin. The importance of the gel
state with multi-scale hierarchical structure is emphasized to utilize emergent
functions in living organisms. Detailed protocol of gel preparation, specified
method of structure investigation, and dynamic studies of self-organization,
self-healing, synchronized oscillating, and autonomous motility functions are
introduced together with biomimetic
functions of synthetic hydrogels.
Contains up-to-date interdisciplinary research on biomimetic materials for artificial muscle and organic actuators Explains ionic and reactive gel material models of the cell and intracellular gel-like materials which contain reactive macromolecules, ions, and water Describes future material prospects for zoomorphic and anthropomorphic robots, sensing tools and motors for mimicking haptic muscles, and the expression of physico-chemical equations for mechanical awareness Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
