Smart Fiber Material, Strain Glass, New Field Of Intelligent Clothing

In the near future, if your clothes feel that you are hot, it will become loose and breathable automatically; if you feel cold, it will wrap more tightly.

The high level Forum on the international development trend of new materials, initiated by the Chinese Academy of engineering, opened yesterday in Shanghai, including experts from more than 40 experts in the field of materials, to discuss: what is "material that is updated than new materials"? It is one of the smart materials with the characteristics of "five senses" and can be modified because of its need.

Intelligence

Material Science.

At present, there are mainly 3 types of smart materials that have been applied. They are ferroelectric materials, which produce corresponding changes according to different voltages, magnetostrictive materials according to the strong and weak strain of magnetic fields, and shape memory metals that can be changed back to the original form.

It is understood that the team led by the Yangtze River scholar Ren Xiaobing, a material discipline at Xi'an Jiao Tong University, has successfully developed a new intelligent material, strained glass.

It has a certain flexibility, even if the temperature changes do not appear thermal expansion and cold contraction, it can also be applied according to the application scenario of "thermal shrinkage and cold expansion".

The new material can be used for mobile phones, bracelet and other terminals, and can also be made of glass fiber.

It can also be widely used in precision instruments.

Ren Xiaobing explains that strained glass is actually a shape memory alloy doped with a few key impurities.
