## Description

- description: In this study, we introduce a self-propelled disk utilizing hinokitiol
    as a surface-active “fuel” within a polystyrene elastomer matrix, floating on
    the water surface. Hinokitiol-containing disks exhibited spontaneous transitions
    from continuous to oscillatory movement, distinctly without the need for external
    inputs. By leveraging the phase transitions of hinokitiol and tuning the mesoscale
    structure of the polymer scaffold, we succeeded in modulating the duration of
    continuous motion and frequency of oscillation in the macroscopic motion of the
    disks. These findings demonstrate that life-like macroscopic motion can be systematically
    engineered by coordinating the molecular arrangement of fuel species and the mesoscale
    structures of the surrounding polymer scaffold, presenting a versatile molecular
    design approach for synthetic self-propelled materials.
