Welcome on SMART materials website!
Welcome on my website dedicated to the smart materials and my research activities. You will find along the pages the main informations about these materials used in electrical engineering and recent develoment in this field. The miniaturisation and the energy consumption reduction awaited for the new devices offer a straight way for this technology, Among the wide range of materials and active polymers , these pages are about the electrically controllable devices.
Make your choice among the following active properties and discover this new way for the electrical engineering.
RheologIcal Fluids
Ferro-fluids, Electro and magneto-rheological fluids are some liquids able to see their mechanical properties changed by magnetic or electric field.

piezoelectricity
Piezoelectric effect is the ability of some natural and synthetic materials to be deformed by an electric field, and besides to generate electrical potential by mechanical pressure.

magnetostriction
The magnetostriction is the property of all ferroelectric materials (like steel) to deform their shapes by magnetic field application. Some alloys permit giant deformations.
