Smart materials are materials that have been engineered to act in a controlled and reversible manner, changing some of their properties in response to external stimuli such as mechanical stress or temperature. Smart materials are also known as responsive materials because of their response. With hot water, pressure, chemical, light, or heat, these things can change shape or behaviour. When you touch these smart materials, they may potentially self-assemble. Without any extra control or electronics, these property changes can be used to generate an actuator or a sensor from the materials. Shape memory material (SMM) and shape memory technology are terms used to explain smart materials (SMT). Many applications, such as sensors and actuators, or artificial muscles, rely on smart materials, notably electroactive polymers (EAPs).
Some materials take place in class of advanced smart materials with adaptive properties and stimulus response to the external changes. Shape memory alloys take place in this group by exhibiting a…

The Emerging Smart Materials track is a dedicated stream within Materials 2027 covering the latest research, methods, and applications in Emerging Smart Materials. It brings together researchers, engineers, and academics for oral presentations, posters, and discussion.
Materials researchers, engineers, educators, doctoral students, and R&D leaders with an interest in Emerging Smart Materials are all welcome — whether presenting or attending.
Yes. Submit an abstract for oral or poster presentation. All submissions are peer-reviewed by the scientific committee; accepted abstracts appear in the indexed proceedings.
Yes. Materials 2027 is a hybrid conference — attend the Emerging Smart Materials track in person in Singapore or join live online, with on-demand access afterward.
Singapore · March 18–20, 2027· Hybrid · in-person & virtual
