This research project deals with new strategies for reducing resource and energy waste during the manufacturing processes of structural composites, including future implications for integrating smart functions. Structural thermoset resins filled with different percentages of electrically conductive nanofillers will be manufactured by comparing two hardening processes: the classical thermal curing

The main objective of this research activity will be the development of strain sensors of three-dimensional (3D) printed manufacts for health monitoring of polymeric structures/devices. The work aims at exploiting the anisotropic properties of 3D-printed parts composed of MWCNT-based polymer to create oriented nanometric networks capable of manifesting controlled self-sensing ability. This would a
