Abstract

Abstract Composite bonded structures are widely used in the field of aerospace. The safety of composite structures can be ensured by the health monitoring and early warning of their whole life. In this paper, a composite CNT/PSF film sensor based on asymmetric porous PSF film was designed and prepared. Through integrated molding with epoxy film, in-situ monitoring of gel point (142.1°C) and curing time (36min) of epoxy film is realized. After optimization of curing process, tensile strength of epoxy film casting body is increased by 86.3%. The single lap shear strength of the composite is increased by 45.7%. The CNT/PSF film sensor with composite material has high response sensitivity (GF≈1.4) and linearity (0.998) to cyclic strain (0-3000με). In the shear experiment of composite single lap joint, the adhesive layer presents a typical cohesive failure mode of first compression, then tensile and finally failure. The resistance changes of CNT/PSF film sensor first decreases from 0 to -1‰, and then rises to 2.7‰. Finally, the fracture response is good, and the in-situ failure behavior monitoring of the joint can be fully realized.
