OPTICAL MECHANOCHEMICAL DEVICE AND DRIVING METHOD FOR MECHANOCHEMICAL MATERIAL

摘要

PURPOSE: To optionally control a mechanochemical group material and to carry out continuous operation by varying the volume of a high molecular compound according to change in a hydrogen ion concentration or salt concentration in liquid and transferring a hydrogen ion or a salt in the liquid by a photosensitive compound when light is radiated. ;CONSTITUTION: In an optical mechanochemical device, a high molecular compound powder body 1, whose volume is varied according to a change in hydrogen ion concentration, a small globule 2, in which a protein accepting light and carrying a hydrogen ion is combined, and a solution are filled in the inside of a cylinder 3, and a loading body 4 is arranged on the upper face of the liquid. When light is radiated to the cylinder 3 from a light source 5, ion concentration in the liquid is changed by the small globule 2, and according to this, the volume of the high molecular compound powder body 1 is changed, so that work is applied to the loading body 4 on the cylinder 3. In this way, the ion concentration or the salt concentration around the mechanochemical high molecular compound can be optionally controlled without any additives from the outside, and also operation can be carried out continuously.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1994,JPO
