| Abstract: |
Carbon nanotube (CNT) yarns were evaluated for sensor applications by measuring electrical properties during uniaxial tension loading. Mechanical properties (tenacity and failure strain) and electrical properties (resistivity and gauge factor) were investigated and statistical distributions for these properties were obtained. Cyclic loading test results showed that permanent strain after unloading exists and that the resistance at zero load increases linearly with permanent strain. Furthermore, the relative resistance change during loading was found to be linear with strain. Although mechanical properties of CNT yarns exhibited a significant statistical variation, the resistance was found to have much less statistical variation making them good candidates as sensors for structural health monitoring in composites.
