| Outline and Purpose of the Course | This course is intended to equip students with a basic understanding of what “smart materials” are and how these materials are present both in current research and the world around them. This course also aims to encourage students to be more creative in their own future studies and research. The course will focus on basic stimuli-sensitive materials in the beginning and then on smart material systems in the second half of the class. | |||
| Course Goals | This course will provide students with a broad overview and introduction to “smart materials” as present in current research and current applications. The research topics will consider various “smart materials” including stimuli-responsive materials, drug delivery systems, self-healing materials, shape memory materials and various biomimetic systems. Students will be asked to engage in the course material more fully by preparing a semester project as well as completing occasional tasks outside of class throughout the semester. | |||
