Smart material/Nano Materials

An Engineer can modify the properties of materials during a skilful method under the impact of external stimuli. These exterior impacts contain temperature, force, moisture, charge, magnetic flux and ph. piezoelectric materials either yield voltage when stressed or change its shape under the impact of an electrical charge. Thermo responsive materials also are referred to as shape memory alloys or shape memory polymers (an alloy which will be deformed when cold but returns to its pre-deformed shape when heated). In medical field the utilization of smart materials that answer injuries by delivering drugs and antibiotics or by hardening to supply sew a broken limb.
