dc.description.abstractThe 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 advantages for strain sensing applications. We successfully fabricate piezoresistive MXene fibers using wet spinning and integrate them into carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy laminates for in-situ strain sensing. Unlike previous studies focused on high strain levels, we adjust the strain levels to be comparable to those encountered in practical aerospace applications. Our results demonstrate remarkable sensitivity of MXene fibers within low strain ranges, with a maximum sensitivity of 0.9 at 0.13% strain. Additionally, MXene fibers exhibited high reliability for repetitive tensile deformations and low-velocity impact loading scenarios. This research contributes to the development of self-sensing composites, offering enhanced capabilities for early detection of damage and defects in aerospace structures, thereby improving safety and reducing maintenance expenses.
