The Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering (pronounced / v iː s / "veese") is a cross-disciplinary research institute at Harvard University focused on bridging the gap between academia and industry (translational medicine) by drawing inspiration from nature's design principles to solve challenges in health care and the environment.
Smart polymers, stimuli-responsive polymers or functional polymers are high-performance polymers that change according to the environment they are in. . Such materials can be sensitive to a number of factors, such as temperature, humidity, pH, chemical compounds, the wavelength or intensity of light or an electrical or magnetic field and can respond in various ways, such as altering color or ...
C change is a waterproof and windproof temperature adaptive material developed and produced by Schoeller Textiles. [1]The material contains a membrane layer which is set to a predetermined temperature range.
Nancy Sottos is an American materials scientist and professor of engineering.She is the Swanlund Endowed Chair and the head of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign. [2]
Design for additive manufacturing (DfAM or DFAM) is design for manufacturability as applied to additive manufacturing (AM). It is a general type of design methods or tools whereby functional performance and/or other key product life-cycle considerations such as manufacturability, reliability, and cost can be optimized subjected to the capabilities of additive manufacturing technologies.
For example, nursing homes that own their building may sell that building to a related entity, with whom they share a common owner. The nursing home then pays an inflated rent to that entity.
The description of CABS made by Loonen et al. [1] says that: A climate adaptive building shell has the ability to repeatedly and reversibly change some of its functions, features or behavior over time in response to changing performance requirements and variable boundary conditions, and does this with the aim of improving overall building performance.
