Structural health monitoring for carbon nanotube (CNT)/carbon fiber/epoxy composite was verified by the measurement of electrical resistivity. This study has focused on the preparation of carbon nanotube composite sensors and their application for structural health monitoring. The change of the electrical resistance was measured by a digital multimeter under tensile loads. Although a carbon fiber was broken, the electrical connection was still kept by distributed CNT particles in the model composites. As the number of carbon fiber breakages increased, electrical resistivity was stepwise increased. The CNT composites were well responded with fiber damages during the electro-micromechnical test. Carbon nanotube composites can be useful sensors for structural health monitoring to diagnose a structural safety and to prevent a collapse.

Abstract Advanced materials with excellent performance are in high demand in modern industry. Carbon fiber composites offer a number of advantageous mechanical properties. A significant improvement in fiber-reinforced composites can be achieved by dispersing a very small amount of nanofiller in the resin. Vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) is one of the most important processes for producing reinforced plastics. In this work, several composite samples were fabricated with the infusion of carbon nanofibers (CNFs) into the epoxy matrix using VARTM process. Using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), it was confirmed that CNFs were well dispersed in the resin. Bending tests were performed to investigate the mechanical properties of the samples, and SEM, to examine the fracture surfaces.
