Smart Surfaces refer to materials or surfaces that have been designed to interact with their environment in intelligent ways, often incorporating technology that allows them to respond to stimuli. These surfaces can be equipped with sensors, actuators, or other embedded devices that enable functionalities such as altering their properties (like color or texture), communicating with other devices, or adapting to environmental changes (like temperature or humidity). Applications of smart surfaces span various fields, including architecture, automotive, healthcare, and consumer electronics, enhancing user experience and improving energy efficiency, safety, and interactivity. The development of smart surfaces often involves integrating traditional materials with advanced technologies, paving the way for innovative solutions in smart homes, wearables, and smart cities.
