The Stimulation Responsive polymer gels are actuated by temperature. Added Metal complex that causes to make Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction to the gels, and causing BZ reaction, there are doing periodic swell-deswell motion. They were named as Self Actuated Gels. Gels are sensitive to temperature, so we researched Stress-strain characteristics of Oxidized state and Reduced state in Self Actuated Gels with temperature of different solutions. The solution’s temperature is 10°C and 30°C in experiments. As a result, the true-strain in 10°C until broken the gel were 0.63 (oxidized) and 0.67 (reduced). At 30°C is 1.11 (oxidized) and 1.24 (reduced).In addition, when 10°C and true-strain is 0.6 ,there was about 5 kPa that the difference of true-stress. At 30°C (true-strain was 0.6), is about 13kPa that the difference of true-stress. From this result, we could estimate the true-strain of until broken the gels, and known the measure of the mechanical energy that can be taken out.
