FrequentlyAsked Questions

Smart materials are the type of materials which change or tend to vary their properties when introduced to external effects like temperature, stress, pH, magnetic field, and moisture. These materials are known to be smart materials not because of the changes they undergo due to external force but also because of the inherent changes in them. Smart materials react to their immediate interaction environments by adapting their characteristics and are dynamic in nature. These materials work at a very basic functional level. Smart materials are used in applications like actuators & motors, transducers, and structural materials.
