An electronic textile embedded smart cementitious composite

Structural health monitoring (SHM) using self-sensing cement-based materials has been reported before, where nano-fillers have incorporated in cementitious matrices as functional sensing elements. A percolation threshold is always required order for conductive modified concrete to be useful SHM. Nonetheless, the best pressure/strain sensitivity results achieved any matrix are <0.01 MPa−1. In this work, we introduce first-time novel partially reduced graphene oxide based electronic textile (e-textile) embedded plain and well polymer-binder-modified SHM applications. These e-textile composites independent of due interconnected fabric inside host matrix. The piezo-resistive response was measured by applying direct cyclic compressive loads (ranging from 0.10 3.90 MPa). pressure 1.50 MPa−1 an ultra-high gauge factor 2000 obtained system structure with e-textiles. new magnitude higher than state-of-the-art nanoparticle composites. showed mechanical stability durability over long-term compression tests 1000 cycles. Additionally, a two time-constant model used validate experimental on decay
