Abstract

Smart textile structures are promising solution nowadays for in situ structural health monitoring of composite parts that have important place in transportation industry. Composites made from a polymeric matrix and a fibrous reinforcement have been increasingly studied during the last decade. Conductive yarns as textile sensors can be integrated in textile structures by diverse technologies and crucial issue is that sensors integration does not modify their general behavior. In this work interest is focused on the structural health monitoring of textile reinforced thermoplastic composites with newly developed textile sensors in situ based on the conductive polymer complex poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS).
