Adaptive Textiles - Basic Element of Daily Life

Abstract

In society there is a high interest for materials that provide a good answer to many contemporary requirements materials that "stress" the environment as little as possible. In recent years, the international scientific world focused its efforts on developing new ways for obtaining polymers, their diversification, in particular by "copying what exists in nature" and the translation of the design center of gravity to the nano -micro level. Currently, new materials are those that respond to the use requirements that are fundamentally designed to meet the demands of smart devices and are environmentally friendly. Adaptive polymers are a high interest area in terms of innovative design, structure, properties and potential application areas.
