Abstract
This is one of a series of special issues published in Advances
in Materials Science and Engineering, focusing on the latest
advances of smart materials and their applications.
Evolution of engineering materials is strongly depending
on the growing transformation of complexity in engineering
products. New materials being designed are required to provide
specific properties and demonstrate certain functional
characteristics by manipulating their dimension, chemistry,
and structure through various advanced technologies.Therefore,
“smartness” of a material has become the topic of interest.
Properties of smart materials may change accordingly to
the applied external stimuli.
Under the direction of the editorial team, we showcase
advances of organic and inorganic based smart materials
and their applications in areas of specific interest such as
energy, environment, and health. A total of 9 articles are
published in this special issue. Six articles are focused on
production, synthesis, and optimization of smart materials;
and the remaining are dedicated to application of smart
materials.
