GRAPHENE NANOPLATELETS AS CONDUCTIVE FILLERS FOR STRAIN SENSING IN EPOXY NANOCOMPOSITE

摘要

In this work we investigated the possibility to use graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) as a filler for epoxy nanocomposites in order to develop a conductive plastic material. This conductive nanocomposite was applied as a paint to the surface of a fibre reinforced composite material. The experimental results confirmed that the paint could act as a sensor and it is able to detect conductivity variations during the deformation also at low strain values.
