Integrated Thermo-Mechanical Monitoring of Composites Using Carbon Nanotube Yarns

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to experimentally investigate the electrical response of carbon nanotube (CNT) yarns (CNTYs, continuous fibers/yarns made by twisting thousands of carbon nanotubes) under mechanical, thermal, and thermomechanical stimuli, and integrate them into fiber-reinforced polymer composites to assess their capabilities for structural health monitoring under thermomechanical loading. The project was conducted from September 2019 to December 2022 achieving the proposed goals. 16 journal papers were published from the outcomes of this research, 15 presentations in congresses and graduation of 6 students.
