"Polymer-based smart materials have become attractive in recent years due to the fact that the polymers are flexible and provide many advantages compared to inorganic smart materials: they are low cost, they are easy to process, and they exhibit good performance at nano- and microscale. This new volume, Smart Materials: Integrated Design, Engineering Approaches, and Potential Applications, focuses on a different class of polymers that are used as smart materials in the areas of biotechnology, medicine, and engineering. The volume aims to answer these questions: How do we distinguish 'smart m |
