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.

Nondestructive damage sensing and load transferring mechanism of Ni nanowire strands and multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/epoxy composites were investigated using electro-micromechanical techniques. MWCNT composite was especially prepared for high volume contents, 50 vol % of reinforcement. Electro-micromechanical techniques were applied to measure apparent modulus and contact resistance of Ni nanocomposites with their alignment and different diameters, and adding contents. Applied cyclic load affected on apparent modulus and electrical properties on nanocomposites due to various inherent properties of each CNMs. Contact resistivity on humidity sensing was a good indicator for monitoring as for multifunctional applications. Further study on actuation as well as sensing will be investigated for the following work continuously.
