About this Item

Neuware - From the nanoscale to the macroscopic scale, intelligent materials are triggering a response across both dimensions and scientific disciplines. World class, leading experts in the fields of chemistry, physics and engineering have contributed to Intelligent Materials, highlighting the importance of smart material science in the 21st century. In this exceptional text the expertise of specialists across the globe is drawn upon to present a truly interdisciplinary, outline of the topic. Covering both a bottom-up chemical, and top-down engineering approach to the design of intelligent materials the Editors of the book are bridging a vital gap between various scientific authorities. The influence of current research in this field on future technology is undisputed and potential applications of intelligent materials span nanoscience, nano technology, medicine, engineering, biotechnology, pharmaceutical and many other industries. This is an authoritative introduction to the most recent developments in the area, which will provide the reader with a better understanding of the almost unlimited opportunities in the progress and design of new intelligent materials. An indispensable reference for anyone contemplating working in the field! The Editors Mohsen Shahinpoor is the Chief Scientist and Director of Biomedical Poducts at Environmental Robots Inc. and a Regents Professor at the Univesity of New Mexico. His work in the field of Robotic Systems and Smart/Intelligent Materials covers over some 22 years, and includes numerous publications and patents. Prof. Dr. Hans-Joerg Schneider is Professor em. of organic chemistry at the Universitaet des Saarlandes, Germany. He has played a pivotal role in transferring the principals of molecular recognition into supramolecular polymers and has published a multitude of books and papers in the field, with several patents pending for intelligent chemomechanical materials. Comments on this book. 'This will be the starting point for all researchers looking for industrial solutions involving smart materials.
