Smart, Functional and Responsive Materials

This session focuses on materials that respond to mechanical, thermal, electrical, magnetic, chemical or biological stimuli. It includes shape-memory materials, self-healing systems, adaptive structures, piezoelectric and ferroelectric materials, responsive polymers, intelligent coatings, sensors, actuators and multifunctional material platforms. 

Abstract Scope and Participation 

Researchers and developers from academia, industry and applied engineering are encouraged to participate. Abstracts may present material design, response mechanisms, fabrication, characterization, modelling, device integration and applications in healthcare, energy, electronics, robotics, transportation, infrastructure and intelligent systems.
