Study Notes

Smart Materials and Composites

Electroluminescent film or wire is used in LCDs.
Quantum Tunnelling Composite (QTC) changes resistance under compression when used in circuits.
Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) have the ability to change shape in response to temperature changes.
Polymorph is a type of shape memory alloy.

Technical Textiles

Smart fibres and fabrics respond to environmental stimuli, such as:
- Photo-chromic: respond to light
- Thermo-chromic: respond to temperature
- Micro-encapsulation: release materials in response to stimuli
- Biometrics: respond to biological stimuli
Interactive textiles integrate electronic devices and sensors, such as:
- Heart rate monitors
- Wearable electronics (e.g. mobile phones, music players, GPS, tracking systems)
- Electronics integrated into fabric
Micro-fibres are used in clothing manufacture.
Phase changing materials provide:
- Breathability
- Proactive heat and moisture management
