Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/h3tqs5/markets_for_smart) has announced the addition of the “Markets for Smart Composites: 2015 to 2022” report to their offering.

Smart composites leverage the commercial success of the composite technology model and apply it specifically to smart materials. In regular composites two materials are combined to create a new material with functionality that is significantly different to the original materials. Typically, a smart composite is a smart material embedded in polymer, textiles, metal or concrete. In a few cases, smart composites are fabricated from two dumb materials that become smart only when they are combined.

Materials and Technology:

  • Piezoceramics
  • Shape memory alloys
  • Magneto-restrictive materials
  • Electro-restrictive materials
  • Carbon and optical fiber
  • Thermoelectric and thermally responsive materials
  • Others

Applications and Markets for Smart Composites:

  • Energy storage
  • Sensing and diagnostics
  • Self-healing surfaces
  • Robotics
  • Clothing and fabrics
  • Smart structures for the construction and aerospace industries

Strategic profiles:

This report also examines the product/market strategies of the firms to watch in smart composites including their current R&D programs. Coverage includes both smart composites activities of leading composites firms such as DuPont, 3M and Teijin, as well as innovative small firms and start-ups.

The evaluation of smart composites markets in this report is based on interviews with key influencers in smart materials markets, as well as numerous secondary resources. It also draws on insider knowledge of the smart materials business.

We believe that this report will be invaluable reading for marketing and business development specialists in coatings firms, specialty chemical companies and glass firms, electronics and robotics OEMs, as well as sophisticated investors interested in this space.
