It occurred to me that i have been selling a modern material product for the last 5 years at clarks and did not realise! i had even been explaining the material technology to customers and got me thinking about other smart materials i have around me that i had not thought about.Products i own such as my Teflon frying pans and baking tray (non stick coating) in one of my pan there is a red spot which i now know uses thermochromic pigments which change to red when heated indicating the pan is hot! Lycra another smart material i have in my wardrobe, again something i have around me and use all the time but have never really considered.
My learning in this section is definitely developing a greater sense of awareness and i am recognising smart and modern materials on my own meaning i must be understanding what they are
