Smart materials expand within global marketplace

smart materials are young and remain largely unexplored, and there are only a few marketable products. However, researchers are constantly finding combinations of technologies to increase avenues for commercialization.

The existing applications are numerous and diverse. Examples include cardiovascular stents, electrochromatic ski goggles and night vision goggles, sensors for smart missiles, self-dimmable automotive sunroofs, and flat panel information displays for use in computers, televisions, telephones, and other electronic instruments. New analysis by Technical Insights, a business unit of Frost & Sullivan (www.Technical-Insights.frost.com), Smart Materials, reveals developments in SMAs, SMPs, electrochromic materials and fullerenes, while profiling R&D efforts at more than two-dozen organizations and reviewing companies that have smart material-based products on the market or in development. Smart Materials also cites research activities at universities and government organizations worldwide.

Technical Insights will hold a conference call at 1:00 p.m. (EDT)/ 10:00 a.m. (PDT) on Wednesday, October 16, 2002 to provide industry participants an overview of the latest coverage on Smart Materials. To participate, please email Julia Rowell at jrowell@frost.com with the following information:

Name, Company, Title, Telephone Number, and email. Upon receipt of the above information, a confirmation/pass code for the live briefing will be emailed to you.
