Nowadays so called "smart" or "intelligent" materials are breaking new ground in everything from medicine and sportswear to food packaging and the aerospace and automotive sectors.

Prepared from thermo-, light-responsive, or pH-sensitive polymer systems, smart materials get their name by responding to small external stimuli with dramatic and predictable structural changes.

The commercial possibilities are literally endless. Whether it be yielding the next blockbuster cancer drug, tagging for food packaging or crime prevention, smart technologies are lucrative and ripe for the taking.

iSmithers' second conference aims to highlight the most recent advances and developments in this rapidly evolving field, and to provide attendees with a broad and comprehensive outlook on the emerging trends, perspectives, and limitations of the technological applications of various classes of stimuli-responsive polymer materials.

The conference will provide a comprehensive overview of the current state-of-the-art in the field and demonstrate, via a range of case studies and contributions from leading researchers, how companies might capitalise on this emerging technology. 

Don't miss this opportunity to find out about the potential applications for these "smart" materials for the future.
