Abstract:As a kind of functional materials, conductive polymer matrix composites filled with carbon nanotube (CNT) has potential application in structural health monitoring. A good formula should have a low percolation threshold and high piezoresistive strain sensitivity, which are always being sought by costly and time-consuming experimental method. Up to date, there is still a lack of numerical models to predict the sharp transition moment in electrical conductivity and mechanical resistance characteristics. This pap… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
