Electrical resistance change and crack behavior in carbon nanotube/polymer composites under tensile loading
TL;DR: In this article, the electrical and mechanical responses of cracked carbon nanotube (CNT)-based polymer composites were studied, and an analytical model based on the electrical conduction mechanism of CNT-based composites was also developed to predict the resistance change resulted from crack propagation.
