Scope
Smart Materials covers key scientific and engineering achievements of materials that are capable of actively or adaptively responding to stimuli. We aim to report on the discovery of novel smart material types, on the improvements of existing smart materials and on engineering applications of these that require a multidisciplinary effort.This specialty section considers both theoretical and empirical articles, including laboratory proof-of-concept tests and practical field trials as well. The theoretical articles focus on smart material modeling, smart material characterization, smart material control and numerical analyses; while the empirical articles deal with material preparation and field-dependent material properties.
Applications to engineering systems include smart material development for automotive, robot, aerospace, machine, sensor/actuator networks, energy harvesting, health monitoring and biomimetic devices. Smart material families of shape memory alloys and polymers, piezoelectric materials, piezomagnetic materials, electrorheological fluids, magnetorheological fluids, electrostrictive materials, magnetostrictive materials, ferroelectric materials, electroactive polymers, eletroactive papers, thermoelectric materials, magnetocaloric materials are extensively discussed and this list is dynamically expanding as new functional and controllable materials are explored.
