 Smart Materials

In this presentation, we will explore the world of smart materials.

Smart materials are materials that can change their properties in
response to external stimuli. These stimuli can include light, heat,
pressure, or electric fields. Smart materials have a wide range of
applications, from self-healing coatings to shape-shifting robots.
 What are smart materials?

• Smart materials are materials that can change their properties in

response to external stimuli.
• These stimuli can include light, heat, pressure, or electric fields.
• Smart materials have a wide range of applications, from self-healing
coatings to shape-shifting robots.
Types of smart materials

Some common types of smart materials include:

 Shape-memory alloys: These alloys can change their shape when
heated or cooled.
 Piezoelectric materials: These materials generate an electric current
when they are subjected to pressure.
 Chromogenic materials: These materials change color in response to
light or heat.
 Self-healing materials: These materials can repair themselves when
they are damaged.
 Applications of smart materials

 Aerospace: Smart materials can be used to make lighter and stronger

aircraft.
 Automotive: Smart materials can be used to make cars that are more
fuel-efficient and safer.
 Medicine: Smart materials can be used to make medical devices that
are more effective and less invasive.
 Consumer electronics: Smart materials can be used to make electronic
devices that are more interactive and user-friendly.
 The future of smart materials

In the future, we can expect to see even more amazing applications of smart
materials,
such as:
Self-driving cars that can adapt to their environment
Medical devices that can diagnose and treat diseases
Buildings that can generate their own energy
