Smart Polymer Systems 2010 Conference Proceedings

Prepared from thermo-, light-responsive or pH-sensitive polymer systems, so called "smart" or "intelligent" materials get their name by responding to small external stimuli with dramatic and predictable structural changes. iSmithers' inaugural conference will provide a comprehensive overview of the current state-of-the-art in the field of smart polymers and will demonstrate, via a range of case studies and contributions from leading researchers, how these materials are breaking new ground in everything from medicine and sportswear to food packaging and the aerospace and automotive sectors.
