Stimuli Responsive Materials (SRMs) are a class of materials that can respond to external stimuli such as temperature, light, pH, and electric or magnetic fields. These materials are of great interest to chemical engineers due to their potential applications in a variety of fields, including drug delivery, sensing, and energy storage. SRMs are typically composed of polymers, liquid crystals, or other organic molecules, and can be tailored to respond to specific stimuli.
SRMs are used in a variety of industries, including medical, automotive, and consumer electronics. In the medical field, SRMs are used for drug delivery, tissue engineering, and diagnostics. In the automotive industry, SRMs are used for self-healing coatings and smart windows. In consumer electronics, SRMs are used for displays, sensors, and actuators.
Some companies in the Stimuli Responsive Material market include BASF, Dow Chemical, Merck, and Solvay. Show Less Read more
