✦ Synopsis

The development of smart materials that continuously sense and optimize their performance has found application in a wide range of diverse disciplines. The Encyclopedia of Smart Materials, edited by Mel Schwartz, intends to provide a resource for all researchers in this emerging field. The articles included in this two volume set not only detail the theory, fabrication, and application of these materials, but cover their commercial applications in established and developing areas. These include fiber-optic sensor systems and MEMS, as well as uses in space, underwater, and within the human body.
