PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED : To provide an inexpensive self-induced vibration gel which is self-driven by converting a Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction (BZ reaction) directly into mechanical energy, without use of an external power source or an external controller, and does not use a rare-metal ruthenium-based complex. SOLUTION : The type of the catalyst is changed advantageously from a rare metal to a base metal by introducing an Fe(bpy)3 complex to the principal chain of a gel through a chemical bond by using a monomer including an iron-bipyridium (Fe(bpy)3) complex, leading to substantial cost reduction and stabilization of the available amount and costs, an important problem for mass production.
