During the course, students will acquire theoretical expert knowledge about the physical properties of functional materials for sensor and actuator applications, specifically focusing on:
- ferroelectric materials;
- pyroelectric materials;
- piezoelectric materials;
- electroactive elastomers;
- artificial muscles.
