SMART MATERIALS 1. Introduction The primary characteristic of a ‘‘smart material’’ is that it has the ability to respond to external stimuli in a technically useful and technically controlled way. The words ‘‘technically useful’’ and ‘‘technically controlled’’ are emphasized since all materials respond to external stimuli of some sort or other (as a simple example‚ all materials respond to temperature by changing their volume)‚ however‚ to be considered a ‘‘smart material’’ the response must

TYPES OF MAGNETIC MATERIALS Paramagnetic materials have a small‚ positive susceptibility to magnetic fields. These materials are slightly attracted by a magnetic field and the material does not retain the magnetic properties when the external field is removed. Paramagnetic properties are due to the presence of some unpaired electrons‚ and from the realignment of the electron paths caused by the external magnetic field. Paramagnetic materials include magnesium‚ molybdenum‚ lithium‚ and tantalum
