When you think about materials, building blocks for useful objects might spring to mind, such as wood for buildings, cloth for clothing, or copper for pots. Undeniably, materials have advanced from these early natural examples to include synthetic substances such as fibreglass, nylon and steel. As our engineering capabilities and needs increase, there is ever more demand for novel materials. One example is responsive materials that respond to external stimuli, such as piezoelectrics, which change shape in response to applied electric fields, or drug capsules, which melt to release medicine in response to temperature and pH. The ability to fine-tune material properties and response at a local level is an aim of much current research, for example to make self-healing systems, or to prescribe pathways for microscopic or nanoscopic motion, which could guide drug delivery or activation to very specific locations.

当您想到材料时，您可能会想到有用物体的构建块，例如用于建筑物的木材、用于衣服的布料或用于锅的铜。不可否认，材料已经从这些早期的自然例子发展到包括玻璃纤维、尼龙和钢等合成物质。随着我们的工程能力和需求的增加，对新型材料的需求也越来越大。一个例子是响应外部刺激的响应材料，例如压电材料，它会根据施加的电场而改变形状，或者药物胶囊，它会根据温度和 pH 值而融化以释放药物。在局部水平上微调材料特性和响应的能力是当前许多研究的目标，例如制造自愈系统，或规定微观或纳米运动的路径，这可以指导药物输送或激活到非常好的状态。具体地点。
