Intelligent materials
Materials characterized by their ability to alter their properties in response to external stimuli
Superhydrophobic surfaces
Impossible to wet : the water is repelled
Minimize the suface of adherence
Uneven surface
Microscopic irregularities
Piezoelectricity
When pressure is applied to an object, a negative charge is produced on the expanded side and a positive charge on the compressed side
Relieve the pressure : electrical current flows across the material
