Recently received in the Architecture Studies Library: this is a title worth browsing
to catch a glimpse of new innovative approaches using new materials that have reversible
characteristics and amazing ability to respond to stimuli such as light and temperature.
There are varied smart material topics including:
- shape-changing smart materials
- electroactive smart materials
- colour and optically changing smart materials
- thermochromic and thermotropic smart materials
- electrochromic and electrotropic smart materials
- adhesion-changing smart materials
- light emitting smart materials
- electricty-generating smart materials
- energy exchanging smart materials
- matter exchanging smart materials
