Smart Materials and Nanotechnology

Architecture Materials and Wearable Technology

From the metallic alloys employed in domestic uses as utensils to the iron alloys employed in industries and construction, From a  brittle glass to a scratch resistant corning gorilla glass, From furfural to composites, From new semiconductor materials to smart wearable technology it has become smarter lifestyle. Clothing with in build technology devices like music players are wearable technologies which are defined as Electronic or E-textiles. Smart Materials are utilized in this technology to make comfortable clothing.

Smart Materials are also researched in construction and architecture sectors. Color changes, physical states, temperature or shape of the smart materials make them attractive towards architects for instance thermochromic urban seats that reflect people’s presence, wallpaper with organic patterns that glow in darkness, electrochromic glass and so on. An application of smart materials in architecture is progressing to meet the beautiful and a quality standard of a lifestyle which is closely followed with wearable technology.
