Enhancing structural health monitoring of fiber-reinforced polymer composites using piezoresistive Ti₃C₂T_x MXene fibers.

ABSTRACT: The anisotropic behavior of fiber-reinforced polymer composites, coupled with their susceptibility to various failure modes, poses challenges for their structural health monitoring (SHM) during service life. To address this, non-destructive testing techniques have been employed, but they often suffer from drawbacks such as high costs and suboptimal resolutions. Moreover, routine inspections fail to disclose incidents or failures occurring between successive assessments. As a result, there is a growing emphasis on SHM methods that enable continuous monitoring without grounding the aircraft. Our research focuses on advancing aerospace SHM through the utilization of piezoresistive MXene fibers. MXene, characterized by its 2D nanofiber architecture and exceptional properties, offers unique adv
