Smart Materials: Types, Properties, and Applications | Science & Engineering

In this video, we explore the incredible world of smart materials—advanced materials that can detect and respond to changes in their environment, such as temperature, pressure, light, and pH. Learn how these materials adapt and alter their properties in real-time, making them essential for innovations across industries like healthcare, aerospace, and infrastructure.

We cover the different types of smart materials:

Shape Memory Alloys: Materials that return to their original shape after deformation. Example: NASA’s Mars rover tires made of Nitinol.
Piezoelectric Materials: Materials that generate an electric charge when stressed. Example: Piezoelectric stethoscopes.
Thermochromic Materials: Color-changing materials based on temperature. Example: Thermochromic spoons for checking food temperature.
Photochromic Materials: Light-sensitive materials that change color in response to UV light. Example: Transition lenses in sunglasses.
pH-Sensitive Materials: Materials that change properties based on pH levels. Example: pH-sensitive polymers in drug delivery systems.
Magnetostrictive Materials: Materials that change shape in response to a magnetic field. Example: Magnetostrictive transducers for mechanical motion.
Watch the full video to understand how these smart materials are transforming industries through their adaptive and responsive capabilities.
