Components of self-diagnosing fibre reinforced composites.
| | Name of composites | Electrical conductive materials and its volume content in the composites | Matrix materials |
| | Carbon fibre reinforced concrete (CFRC) | Short carbon fibre (L 10 mm, 0.5 vol %) | Cement, Mortar, concrete including admixtures (methylcellulose, silica fume et al.) |
| | Carbon fiber reinforced Polymer (CFRP) | Short carbon fibre
(L 10 mm,
10 vol %)
Continuous carbon
fibre (58 vol %) | Resin, curing agent |
| | Carbon fiber glass fibre reinforced Polymer (CFGFRP) | Continuous carbon fibre (<0.5 vol %) | Resin, curing agent |
| | Carbon powder dispersed in glass-fibre-reinforced plastics (CPGFRP) | Graphite carbon powders (0.15 vol%, average particle diameter = 5 ) | Resin, curing agent |
| | hybrid carbon fiber reinforced polymer (HCFRP)sensors | high modulus (HM), medium modulus (MM) and high-strength (HS) carbon tows | Resin, curing agent |
