The Pathway to Intelligence: Using Stimuli‐Responsive Materials as Building Blocks for Constructing Smart and Functional Systems

Advanced Materials, Journal Year: 2019, Volume and Issue: 31(11)

Published: Jan. 9, 2019

Systems that are intelligent have the ability to sense their surroundings, analyze, and respond accordingly. In nature, many biological systems considered (e.g., humans, animals, cells). For man-made systems, artificial intelligence is achieved by massively sophisticated electronic machines computers robots operated advanced algorithms). On other hand, freestanding materials (i.e., not tethered a power supply) usually passive static. Hence, herein, question asked: can be fabricated so they intelligent? One promising approach use stimuli-responsive materials; these "smart" energy supplied stimulus available from surrounding for performing corresponding action. After decades of research, interesting perform smart functions been developed. Classes discussed include practical targeting motion), regulatory self-regulation amplification), analytical processing memory computing). The pathway toward creating truly involve incorporating combination different types into single integrated system using as basic building blocks.

Biological Material Interfaces as Inspiration for Mechanical and Optical Material Designs

Chemical Reviews, Journal Year: 2019, Volume and Issue: 119(24), P. 12279 - 12336

Published: Dec. 3, 2019

The extraordinary properties of biological materials often result from their sophisticated hierarchical structures. Through multilevel and cross-scale structural designs, offset the weakness individual building blocks enhance performance at multiple length scales to match multifunctional needs organisms. One essential merit structure is that it can optimize interfacial features "building blocks" different scales, molecular level macroscale. Understanding roles material interfaces (BMIs) on determination functions has become a growing interdisciplinary research area in recent years. A pivotal aim these studies use BMIs as inspiration for developing bioinspired biomimetic devices with advanced structures functions. Given considerations, this review aims comprehensively discuss structure-property-function relationships nature. We particularly focus discussion inspired mechanical optical perspectives because two directions are most well-investigated closely related. challenges design fabrication BMI-inspired also discussed. This expected garner interest communities well environmental, nanotechnology, food processing, engineering fields.
