Smart materials have made a substantial contribution to their widespread use across a number of industries. Numerous intelligent materials have the ability to alter their characteristics and behavior in response to an outside catalyst or stimulus. These materials are altering how typical engineering materials are used. To improve the desirable features of existing materials, smart materials can either be used alone or combined with them. Due to its transdisciplinary uses, smart materials are found in all human innovations. While some of these materials are in use now, some have been for a very long time. Therefore, suffice it to remark that further study is still needed on the recently produced smart materials. The development of composite materials to shape memory alloys is the subject of this review study. This literature describes the development of smart materials from traditional composites to cutting-edge shape memory alloys as well as how they are utilized.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
