The concept of development in present world can be understood by the infrastructure, social development and health. Now in these days, basic needs are centered on “Materials”. How judiciously one uses the materials and resources is the point of concern. The purpose of this book is to synthesize materials that prove to be beneficial for the society in different respect. Smart material like (Ferroelectric, Piezoelectric ceramics and nanomaterials) are presently one of focused point in materials research. Smart materials are becoming more interested subject as materials scientists. They are focus on materials chemistry, physics and application in real world because it induces conformational changes in complex structures and properties which are useful for devise and control them. The smart materials with the most promising ability to alter the mode via an external stimuli including stress, electric or magnetic fields, temperature, moisture or etc. These types of materials have been found to be very useful and interesting for different solid state devices in real life. Changing structures, advances in technologies and the greater reliance of researchers on materials poses a number of challenges for maintaining good manufacturing practices. Also, the theoretical and experimental aspects have been dealt with in detail. Now these days, everything in human surrounding are moves towards materials. The focus of the chapters is too dealt with different type of environment friendly materials. The main challenge faced while compiling the matter for this book was identification and prioritization of the various materials that help in making our lives better. I would love to bring about changes for a better living through the research material included in this book. I am thankful to the students and all other team members for encouraging me to write this book. I express my gratitude to “Nova publisher” for bringing out this book in its present form. The work has been described in fourteen chapters. The book Smart Materials for Smart Living has a wide range of collection of materials that are involved in the things that govern our day to day lives. The research work presented in the book begins with Chapter 1 on General Introduction on Smart Material Nanofibers giving a general idea of nanofibers and their application. Applications of SMNFs are used in different areas such as Filtration media, Gas sensing and a great deal of biomedical applications too. The treatment of heart blockage, brain hemorrhage has been significantly affected by these materials, due to their properties of extremely small pore size, electrical and viii Radheshyam Rai magnetic properties, large surface to volume ratio and being light in weight. These are also useful to be better materials in solar cells, batteries and many other applications. Chapter 2 deals with detailed description of possible application on Zinc and Titanium in our life. Zinc is a material that has been used since ancient times, especially in India. Its antibacterial and biocompatible properties make it one of the best materials to be used in medical industry. Applications of TiO2 are used for reducing air and water pollution and separation of cadmium. Also ZnO has worldwide applications in rubber industry, paints, cosmetics, photocopying, fire retardants etc. They are also used in pharmaceutical industry in curing Diarrhea (children), bad breath, Down’s syndrome, Immune function etc. The applications of such materials are obviously possible only and only if they are synthesized in the best manner. Nano fibers are used in wound
