Explores State-of-the-Art Work from the World's Foremost
Scientists, Engineers, Educators, and Practitioners in the Field
Why use smart materials? Since most smart materials do not add
mass, engineers can endow structures with built-in responses to a
myriad of contingencies. In their various forms, these materials
can adapt to their environments by changing characteristics and can
provide information about structural and environmental changes. A
single source on numerous aspects of intelligent materials Smart
Materials focuses on many types of novel materials, including
ceramics, hybrid composites, shape memory alloys, chitosan-based
gels, adhesives, oxides, polymers, flip-chip technology,
magnetorheological fluids, electrorheological materials, nanotubes,
and sensors. It highlights the interdisciplinary nature of these
materials by showing how they can be used in scores of areas, such
as drug delivery systems, health monitoring, fiber optics,
nanoscale engineering, vibration control, and molecular imprinting.
Gain insight from leading experts who specialize in smart materials
technologyWith over fifty years of experience working and teaching
in this field, the editor has compiled numerous insightful
contributions from an extensive group of leading experts. In this
volume, they share their expertise and explore the innovative
progress that has occurred in smart material products, components,
systems, and structures.
