Project

Self Sensing Composites using selectively distributed conductive networks in CPCs (Conductive Polymer Composites)

The research aims to develop an innovative sensor network with resistivity-strain behaviour through construction of oriented and selectively distributed conductive networks in CPCs. The network consists of thermoplastic nanofilled sensors which afterwards can be woven into a conductive layer and then be embedded as a sensor layer inside a composite structure to monitor behaviour and integrity of these materials.
