What is it about?

Experimental details of the piezoresistive response of carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers highlighting the effect played by the strain rate.

Why is it important?

The relevance of this initial study lies in the fact that these CNT fibers may be used as integrated piezoresistive-based sensors.

Perspectives

Knowing more about the mechanical/electrical/thermal response of strongly piezoresistive and carbon-based fibers may facilitate their use as integrated sensors for structural health monitoring.
