Embedding a smarter choice

Article Abstract:

Smart composites are fast becoming a reality, with the development of new technology providing a simple, cost-effective way of embedding smartness in advanced materials without harming mechanical performance. Dera Farnborough is developing a method incorporating a layer of polyester fabric, previously imprinted with porous conductive tracks, within the composite.
