Abstract

This paper investigates the manufacturing routes for multi-functional materials. Multi-functionality includes functions such as sensing, actuation, heating, cooling, thermal conductivity, camouflage and stealth, in addition to load bearing. Composites have a distinct advantage in incorporating multi-functionality at the material scale. Dry fibre preforming has been identified as a key enabling technology for incorporating multifunctional elements into a fibre assembly before the resin is injected. This paper also investigates non-contact measuring techniques such as wireless sensing and Raman spectroscopy.
