This book describes a new family of bio-polymer gels made from
cytoskeletal proteins - actin, microtubule, and tropomyosin. The
importance of the gel state with multi-scale hierarchical structure
is emphasized to utilize emergent functions in living organisms.
Detailed protocol of gel preparation, specified method of structure
investigation, and dynamic studies of self-organization,
self-healing, synchronized oscillating, and autonomous motility
functions are introduced together with biomimetic functions of
synthetic hydrogels.

Sensors and Actuators using polymeric systems is one of the most
promising fields of "Intelligent Polymers," which is becoming more
and more important associating with artificial sensing and
actuating systems in living organisms. Some practical applications
have now started to test in industry. The book covers optical, gas,
taste, and other sensing systems using various kinds of polymers.
Soft and wet actuating systems using polymer gels and networks are
another field which caused excitation in the last year. The
contributors are all pioneers in the field, and were selected from
world-wide level. They provide the necessary background information
and science to develop a basic understanding of the field, its
supporting technologies and current applications. Besides, the
overviews will provide a sense of how these supporting technologies
can be combined to meet the requirements of advanced systems.
Finally, the readers will learn about potential future
developments.
