Abstract: Despite the prevalence of chaos in chemical systems, most experiments are designed to avoid parameter ranges where such "complications" arise. However, since the advent of different algorithms for chaos control, it has been realized that operating in a chaotic regime may even be advantageous. Although chemical systems seem to be an ideal playground for the chaotically inclined, there are surprisingly few experimental examples of the control of chemical chaos. In this talk I will present: a) control of chaotic concentration oscillations in the BZ-reaction b) control of chaotic current oscillations during copper corrosion c) synchronization and control of chaos in electrode arrays (control of spatiotemporal chaos).
