Center Smart Materials and Adaptive Systems CeSMASmart fluids are a quite unusual class of liquid materials. Activated by magnetic or electric fields, respectively, these materials exhibit a drastic, fast, reversible and continuously controllable transition from their liquid to a semi-solid state. This phase change capability opens the way for numerous technical applications from adaptive dampers and shock absorbers, to controllable clutches and brakes, haptic devices and fixturing tools for sensitive objects.
CeSMA develops special smart fluids and associated technical systems for automotive and medical technology, production and mechanical engineering as well as other branches.
