In recent years, medical micropumps have been studied, and problem for the micropump include the complexity of their structure and leakage current in micropumps. In this study, we develop a micropump driven only by chemical energy without electronic devices. The pumps include oscillating gel driven by the oscillatory BZ reaction, and the gel swells and shrinks autonomously driven gel using BZ reaction (BZ gel). We believe that BZ gels could be useful for the medical micropumps.
