Smart Materials

Abstract

The engineers of Midé possess a unique, broad level of expertise when it comes to the application of smart materials.  Smart Materials are materials that respond to changes in their environment and then undergo a material property change.  These property changes can be leveraged to create an actuator or a sensor from the materials without any additional control or electronics required.

Midé engineers understand the advantages and limitations of each material so the appropriate solution can be suggested for each of our customer’s applications.  Midé has the experience necessary to source materials, design and fabricate prototypes, perform modeling and simulation, and manufacture products.  The options of smart materials have a wide range as evidenced by the list below our sensor kit products.
