Abstract [eng] This study aims to develop smart 3D woven nano composite by vacuum infusion process, which can sense deformation and damage at the joints of complex shapes like T-profile. The MXene were delaminated by chemical etching and dispersed in deionised water. In next stage, they were sprayed directly on the joint of 3D woven T-profile composite to form a conductive coating. The resultant nano composites were subjected to tensile loading to study the sensitivity of MXene to applied elongation. Results show that the MXene network is sensitive to tensile deformation. It can be concluded from the study that MXene smart strain gauge manufactured during this research work can be used for in-situ deformation monitoring of complex shaped composites while being cost effective and easy to manufacture.
