Bio-Smart Materials for Product Design Innovation
In the framework of design-driven material innovation approach and cross-disciplinary research practices, the aim of the MADEC’s contribution is to make clear how Bio-Smart Materials are creating new opportunities to realize answers to the complex needs of contemporary society. Emerging Bio-smart Materials create new opportunities to answers the complex needs of contemporary
At IHSI 2019 MADEC together with 2 other components of Design4materials network presents a series of case studies of bio-smart materials applications. These demonstrate a higher propensity for the use of biotechnological innovations.
The case studies are framed in three specific areas:
- biomedical design
- sports design
- design for environment
These areas are particularly interested in the development and application of novel bio-smart materials for both their performances and sustainability.
