Abstract

Sensing and interfacial evaluation of Ni nanowire strands/polymer composites were investigated using Electro-micromechanical technique. Electro-micromechanical techniques can be used as sensing method for micro damage, loading, temperature of interfacial properties. Using Ni nanowire strands/silicone composites with different content, load sensing response of electrical contact resistivity was investigated under tensile and compression condition. The mechanical properties of Ni nanowire strands with different type/epoxy composites were measured using uniformed cyclic loading and tensile test. Ni nanowire strands/epoxy composites showed humidity and temperature sensing within limited ranges, 20 vol% reinforcement. Some new information on temperature and humidity sensing plus loading sensing of Ni nanowire strands/polymer composites could be obtained from the electrical resistance measurement as a new concept of the nondestructive interfacial evaluation.
