Since copper smelting was discovered, now the world of material technology has evolved so much that we have arrived at the age of "Smart Materials." They have been increasingly applied in various industries as well as metalworking industry which is the economic driving force and the core of national development.
Smart materials are adaptive materials or intelligent materials that can be manipulated by external stimuli such as humidity, temperature, light, electromagnetic fields and pressure to achieve the desired performance results. They present some distinguished characteristics from general materials, such as flexibility and the ability to resume original shape if broken or damaged. They are able to repair themselves and responds well to the changes in environment. These changes can occur and recur indefinitely. There are many types of smart materials, each of which has different unique property.
