Active Materials Specs

Substances that respond to external stimuli, such as electric fields, magnetic fields, or mechanical stress, by changing their properties or behavior. These materials can exhibit effects like piezoelectricity, shape memory, or magnetostrictive behavior. They are used in applications like sensors, actuators, and smart structures, enabling technologies such as robotics, aerospace, and biomedical devices. Their ability to actively respond and adapt makes them essential for advanced engineering solutions.
