ntelligent materials with integrated functionalities are required to make devices more energy efficient, autonomous, self–responding, switchable, biocompatible, and antibacterial. They are also integrated into novel sensor and actuator devices, providing significantly increased sensitivity. <p style="box–sizing: border–box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font–family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, Arial, sans–serif; line–height: 22.4px; border–radius: 0px !important; ">Intelligent materials with integrated functionalities are required to make devices more energy efficient, autonomous, self–responding, switchable, biocompatible, and antibacterial.
