Control of Oscillating Behaviors

Typically, the oscillation period increases with a decrease in the initial concentration of the substrates. Further, in general, the oscillation frequency (the reciprocal of the period) of the BZ reaction tends to increase as the temperature increases, in accordance with the Arrhenius equation. The swelling-deswelling amplitude of the gel increases with an increase in the oscillation period and amplitude of the redox changes. Therefore, the swelling-deswelling amplitude of the gel is controllable by changing the initial concentration of the substrates as well as the temperature.
