Biopolymers and Biomaterials

Smart Materials and Functional Polymers

Smart materials are used to design the smart structures, which can perform both sensing and actuation functions. Functional materials  to make  multi-functional composites.Organic functional polymers can be used in smart materials, chemical delivery of systems, component of sensors, and the active layer of solar cells. Smart materials technology allows us to adapt the environmental changes by activating its responsibility. The analytical design and adjustment of the smart materials their chemical structure has enable to control over their properties and also morphology leading to the advancement of Nanotechnology. Smart materials are measured in terms of their “reactiveness” to environmental stimuli and their activity. The major difference between ordinary materials and smart materials can be demonstrated through the positive temperature coefficient resistant materials.
