Smart and Semi Smart Materials - Axel Ritter - 08-29-2014

LIGHT-EMITTING NON- AND SEMI-SMART MATERIALS

materials and products that emit a large amount of heat in addition to light are not classed as smart materials. A relatively new development in this context are luminating textiles in which projectors are incorporated
to illuminate light-conducting fibres. The light sources in the projectors are sodium vapour lamps, which develop a lot of heat

MATTER-EMITTING NON- AND SEMI-SMART MATERIALS

materials include paints, often in the form of inks, containing microencapsulated scents. They can be applied by screen printing
on paper, cardboard and other suitable surfaces. As they become exhausted over a period of time, they cannot be considered to be smart materials.

ELECTRICITY-GENERATING MATERIALS AND PRODUCTS

Silicon-based solar cells are the main type of electricity-generating materials and products that have found practical applications, some in the field of architecture.
