Self-propelled objects (particles, droplets) are autonomous agents
that can convert energy from the environment into motion. These
motions include nonlinear behaviour such as oscillations,
synchronization, bifurcation, and pattern formation. In recent
years, there has been much interest in self-propelled objects for
their potential role in mass transport or their use as carriers in
confined spaces. An improved understanding of self-organized motion
has even allowed researchers to design objects for specific motion.
This book gives an overview of the principles of self-propelled
motion in chemical objects (particles, droplets) far from their
thermodynamic equilibrium, at various spatial scales. Theoretical
aspects, the characteristics of the motion and the design
procedures of such systems are discussed from the viewpoint of
nonlinear dynamics and examples of applications for these nonlinear
systems are provided. This book is suitable for researchers and
graduate students interested in physical and theoretical chemistry
as well as soft matter.
