Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Innovative and Smart Materials
Description
This book collects the selected and peer-reviewed papers from the 7th International Conference on Innovative and Smart Materials (ICISM 2025), which was hosted by University of Cape Town during May 16-18, 2025 in Cape Town, South Africa. The conference aims to serve as a unique gathering for distinguished scholars worldwide in the field of smart materials. Esteemed directors, scientists, professors, research scholars, postdocs, and academic staff were poised to present their research findings, while also embracing emerging technological trends in the expansive realm of smart materials. The contributions of ICISM 2025 focus on the latest advances, trends, and future challenges in Application of smart materials, structures and related technology, fundamentals of smart materials, shape memory alloys and polymers, electro and magnetorheological materials, electroactive polymers, energy storage materials, composite materials, etc. This book further highlights numerous exciting ideas generated from the ICISM 2025 Conference, which spur novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary collaborations among the experts working in these related fields.
