Agenda
- Welcome and short introduction by member of Fraunhofer CPM (c. 10 minutes)
- Talk (c. 45 minutes)
- Discussion (c. 35 minutes)
You are invited to take actively take part in the discussion. Please note that the talk itself will be recorded and used for internal purposes afterwards.
Programmable materials are materials or material compositions, which are structured such that their properties can be specifically controlled and reversibly changed. Complex and locally different functions can be programmed into these materials.
Depending on the application and situation, the material then adopts different conditions and material properties initiated by external triggers.
Programmed = fixed functionality programmed into material during fabrication
Programmable = adaption of function during application
Programmable materials introduce a unique potential for new system solutions because they themselves adopt important system functionalities, thus making additional system components such as sensors or actuators redundant.
