Seminar on Smart materials and Smart devices
Dr Long Yi Chinses University of Hong Kong This seminar will be chaired by A/P Wan Man Pun |
| Seminar Abstract |
Smart materials are most widely used in various applications including sensors, actuators, artificial muscles and so on. They are also known as intelligent or responsive materials which are designed materials with different properties that can be significantly changed in a controlled way by external stimuli, such as stress, electric or magnetic fields, light and temperature. In this talk, I will report the progress of two most widely studied inorganic and organic smart materials, vanadium dioxide and hydrogel, and their applications in the energy saving smart window, stretchable devices as well as artificial muscles. |
