This will enable it to launch six more KICs: added-value manufacturing, food4future, innovation for healthy living and active ageing, raw materials, smart secure societies, and urban mobility.
A special section is dedicated to the development of ultra-smart textiles, which use adaptable membranes and actuators based on electro-active materials, smart gels, and shape memory polymers along with sensing compounds for self-cleaning, release and capture processes.
He is interested in magnetostrictive materials for application in composite materials for smart material applications.
To overcome this research has focused on several areas with an emphasis on the development of theoretical understanding, high performance EC materials and smart material engineering.
This manner of acting recommends these materials as smart materials with potential applications in tissue engineering and pharmaceutical field as for example bioproducts carrier matrices.
There appear more critical requirements for special functions of components/products in various areas, which can be satisfied only by using heterogeneous materials and/or smart materials.
Apple has come a very long way when it comes to leather working and materials smarts in these cases.
His material is smart, and aims to play off stereotypes, not with them.
