A "smart material" is one having a molecular structure that responds in a particular and controlled way to influences upon it. Some types of smart materials are piezoelectrics, electrostrictors, magnetostrictors, and shape-memory alloys.
Piezoelectric materials generate an electrical charge when stimulated, as by contact, or respond to an electric current by changing shape. Strictors change shape in response to an electric or magnetic field. A shape-memory alloy (SMA) can "remember" a hot or cold form and return to it after being changed in shape.

A "smart material" is one having a molecular structure that responds in a particular and controlled way to influences upon it. These range from magnetically-changed materials, to "memory" molecules that return to their original form, to materials that generate an electric charge when pressed, twisted, or warped. These materials can significantly change their mechanical properties (such as shape, stiffness, and viscosity), or their thermal, optical, or electromagnetic properties, in a predictable or controllable manner. Some types of smart materials are piezoelectrics, electrostrictors, magnetostrictors, and shape-memory alloys.
Smart materials were first developed in the late 20th century, with significant advancements occurring in the 1960s and 1970s. Notably, shape memory alloys, one of the earliest types of smart materials, were discovered in 1963 by William J. Buehler and his team at the Naval Ordnance Laboratory. Since then, research and development in smart materials have expanded, leading to various applications in fields like engineering, medicine, and consumer electronics.

Passive smart materials: which can only sense the environmental condition or stimuli. Active smart materials: which sense and react to the condition or stimuli. Very smart materials: which can sense, react and adapt themselves accordingly. Intelligent materials: which are those capable of responding or activated to perform a function in a manual or pre-programmed manner.

Some disadvantages are polution, excessive use of materials, and sometimes the safety isn't quite guaranteed.
There are many types and some are fresh water,spring water,mineral water,smart water,etc.. there are many others..
Smart materials are materials that can respond to changes in their environment, such as temperature, light, or pressure. Examples include shape memory alloys, which can return to a predetermined shape when heated, and piezoelectric materials that generate an electric charge when mechanical stress is applied. Other types include thermochromic materials that change color with temperature and electrochromic materials that alter their transparency or color when an electric voltage is applied. These materials are used in various applications, including sensors, actuators, and adaptive structures.
