Toronto Smart Materials & Structures (TSMART)

---

Toronto Smart Materials & Structures (TSMART’s) research focuses on the fabrication of smart functional materials and composites.

Smart and Adaptive Materials are an emerging class of materials that possess unique properties, including the ability to sense and respond to different stimuli, such as electrical, mechanical, chemical, and biological, in a prescribed fashion. Research on these materials and their properties will advance and improve the current technologies in a variety of fields that require new or more efficient multi-functional materials. These synthetic materials have proven themselves in challenging environments and can be used in a variety of applications including tissue engineering, light-weight materials, biologically inspired materials, materials for biomedical devices, sensors and actuators, electronics packaging, and automotive materials.
