"Piezoresistive response of carbon nanotube and carbon fiber/epoxy comp" by Ali Faraj Hammadi, Yue Zhao et al.
Maintaining the mechanical properties and long-term operational safety is considered the main challenge for composite materials under cyclic loading. This work presents mechanical performance of tri-component composites based on multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), carbon fibres (CFs) and epoxy resin, and their electrical conductance property for applications like strain gauges. As a result of incorporation of MWCNTs into the epoxy resin in the composite’s morphology, their electrical, mechanical and piezoresistive performance can indicate the self-sensing of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy re...
