Functional Rhythmic Chemical Systems Governed by pH-Driven Kinetic Feedback

Abstract

The front cover artwork is provided by the Laboratory of Nonlinear Chemical Dynamics at Eötvös Loránd University and the Self-assembly and Self-Organization Research Group at Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Budapest, Hungary. The image shows an hourglass and suggests a pH variation over time. pH-driven kinetic feedback is a key element of pH oscillatory mechanisms. These can be used as a driving program to induce periodic chemical and/or structural changes in a coupled pH-sensitive colloidal or macroscopic gel systems.
