Research breakthrough could enable future generations of self-sensing materials
Published: 23 October 2024
A team of engineers led by researchers from the University of Glasgow have developed the first system capable of modelling the complex physics of 3D-printed composites capable of detecting strain, load, and damage using nothing more than a measure of electrical current. Professor Shanmugam Kumar, of the University of Glasgow’s James Watt School of Engineering led the research, which is published as an article in the journal Advanced Functional Materials.
