Development of smart composite materials with sensing capabilities applicable for instance in automotive and aeronautics

Printed sensors can be integrated into composite materials with the introduction of new functionalities such as health monitoring, impact detection, or measurement of the presence of ice or liquids on the composite’s surface;

Product Feature: composite materials produced by conventional methods, with the integration of printed sensors, able to measure structural health and surface properties;

Added value: replacement of conventional sensing and measuring methods that are bulkier and not fully integrated in the structure;
