Abstract

Due to the continuous technological development in the field of smart materials in the recent period, and since smart materials have become widely used in various production and design processes, this research studies smart materials and the extent of their impact on various industrial products and their applications in different fields, and the research contributes to providing a study that shows the extent of the impact of smart materials on industrial design products. Smart materials are those that can sense and respond to environmental events, influencing their surroundings. They can change their shape and properties when exposed to external influences. They have various applications, such as in space equipment, satellites, smart jobs, and building materials. Smart materials offer features like remote control capability, lightweight and durability, self-healing, and the ability to sense different types of energy. Examples mentioned include ETFE material, smart packaging material, fiber-optic cables, piezoelectric cells, and liquid crystal technology. They play a significant role in industrial design by improving the function, value, and appearance of products.
