Intelligent Stimuli-Responsive Materials From

There has been concerted effort across scientific disciplines to develop artificial materials and systems that can help researchers understand natural stimuli-responsive activities. With its up-to-date coverage on intelligent stimuli-responsive materials, Intelligent Stimuli-Responsive Materials provides research, industry, and academia professionals with the fundamentals and principles of intelligent stimuli-responsive materials, with a focus on methods and applications. Emphasizing nanostructures and applications for a broad range of fields, each chapter comprehensively covers a different stimuli-responsive material and discusses its developments, advances, challenges, analytical techniques, and applications.

Quan Li is Director of Organic Synthesis and Advanced Materials Laboratory at the Liquid Crystal Institute and Adjunct Professor in the Chemical Physics Interdisciplinary Program of Kent State University, where he has directed research projects supported by the National Science Foundation and other U.S. government agencies and several companies. He has edited 2 previous books Self-Organized Organic Semiconductors: From Materials to Device Applications and Liquid Crystals Beyond Displays: Chemistry, Physics, and Applications, both published by Wiley.
