Ion beam modification of solids : towards Intelligent Materials
Materials Science and Engineering A-structural Materials Properties Microstructure and Processing, 1998Co-Authors: Toshinori TakagiAbstract:Abstract The feature of an Intelligent Material is the introduction of the concept of information science into the genuine properties and functions of Material. Therefore a Material itself can fulfil combined functions such as a sensor function, a processor function, an actuator (effector) function and a feedback–feedforward function. The development of Intelligent Materials is important for safety technology and human engineering such as life prediction, real-time monitoring of accidents, emergency measures and development of drug delivery systems (DDS). The present status of ion engineering technology to support the development of Intelligent Materials for synthesis of new Materials or high performance multilayer thin films, for controlling crystallinity or composition and for modification of surfaces by atomic state ions or ionized clusters is described to illustrate–show that ion engineering technology is powerful and promising for the development of Intelligent Materials.

Concept of and the recent research on Intelligent Materials
3rd International Conference on Intelligent Materials and 3rd European Conference on Smart Structures and Materials, 1996Co-Authors: Toshinori TakagiAbstract:Intelligent Materials are the Materials possessing the following function in themselves such as the sensing function which detect the environmental change or their inner anomaly, the processor function which can judge the situation to lead the conclusion, and actuating function that the Materials themselves can take action or give instruction. The structural and functional Materials simply utilize the native properties and functions of their own. On the other hand, the Intelligent Materials are based on a new concept where the information science will be united with their own properties and functions. The Intelligent Materials can be very important and useful in many fields and their interdisciplinary fields such as the medicine, pharmacy, bioengineering, polymer, metalugy, semiconductor, ceramics, electronics, machinery. It is also extremely important in the human engineering, safety engineering, environmental study and study on the resources. In this report, the category of the Intelligent Material and the recent activities of researches on the Intelligent Materials are discussed.© (1996) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.

Recent research on Intelligent Materials
Journal of Intelligent Material Systems and Structures, 1996Co-Authors: Toshinori TakagiAbstract:Intelligent Materials are the Materials possessing functions in themselves such as the sensing function which detects the environmental change or their inner anomaly, the processor function which can judge the situation to lead the conclusion, and the actuating function which activates the Materials within themselves to take action or give instruction. The structural and functional Materials- simply utilize the native properties and functions of their own. On the other hand, the Intelligent Materials are based on a new concept where the information science will be united with their own properties and functions. The Intelligent Materials are very important and useful in many fields and the interdisciplinary fields such as the medicine, pharmacy, bioengineering, polymer, metallurgy, semiconductor, ceramics, electronics, and machinery.

Scratching the surface of Intelligent Materials: characterisation methods for conducting polymer films
Journal of Intelligent Material Systems and Structures, 1994Co-Authors: Zhao Huijun, Abdolreza Mirmohseni, William E Price, Afshad TalaieAbstract:One essential aspect of an Intelligent Material is that it has some properties which are dynamic which can be utilised and controlled. It is well known that a number of polymeric Materials are inherently dynamic. In order to utilise the full potential of polymers for use as Intelligent Materials it is imperative that processes occurring at the polymer interface are well understood. A large range of surface and other techniques are available to characterise this. At IPRL we has devel oped over a number of years Intelligent Material systems based on conducting polymers such as polypyrrole. This range of Materials has been used as coated films, particles or stand-alone mem branes in systems designed either to sense/monitor the environment or to effect a separation. Poly pyrrole based systems are able to perform sophisticated functions because the polymer is a dynamic Material which can change its chemical and physical properties by application of an electrical poten tial (thereby altering the oxidation state...

Investigation of Shape Memory Polymers and Their Hybrid Composites
Journal of Intelligent Material Systems and Structures, 1997Co-Authors: Chen Liang, C. A. Rogers, E. MalafeewAbstract:In this paper, a newly developed polymer, shape memory polyurethane (SMP), will be introduced. The shape memory polymer possesses the same basic shape memory effect and elasticity memory effect as shape memory alloys. Shape memory polymers can change their elastic modulus up to 500 times around their glass transition temperatures. Both the shape memory effect and the elasticity memory effect of shape memory polymers make them a useful candidate for today's Intelligent Material systems and structures. This paper will introduce some of the basic characteristics of SMPs and the results of some initial investigation of SMP composites.
