Smart polymers, stimuli-responsive polymers or functional polymers are high-performance polymers that change according to the environment they are in....

Shape-memory polymers (SMPs) are polymeric smart materials that have the ability to return from a deformed state (temporary shape) to their original (permanent)...

the solid polymer. The curing conditions affect the size of the droplets that in turn affect the final operating properties of the "smart window". Typically...

Smart materials are the basis of many applications, including sensors and actuators, or artificial muscles, particularly as electroactive polymers (EAPs)...

Smart inorganic polymers (SIPs) are hybrid or fully inorganic polymers with tunable (smart) properties such as stimuli responsive physical properties (shape...

responsive properties are sometimes called smart inorganic polymers. A special class of inorganic polymers are geopolymers, which may be anthropogenic...

An electroactive polymer (EAP) is a polymer that exhibits a change in size or shape when stimulated by an electric field. The most common applications...

A smart bullet is a bullet that is able to do something other than simply follow its given trajectory, such as turning, changing speed or sending data...
