MotivationThe addition of small amounts of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into a polymermatrix can form a conductive percolating network which changes its electricalresistance when is deformed (piezoresistivity). This electrical signal could alsobe used to monitor damage in polymer composites.

Permanent changes in R can be correlated to irreversible phenomena occurringin the polymer (yielding and damage).

Conclusions
• Electrical conductivity in MWCNT/VER composites can be achieved for MWCNT weight concentrations as low as 0.2 wt %.
• The piezoresistive behavior of MWCNT polymer composites depend strongly on the loading type and matrix mechanical behavior.
• The tensile piezoresistive behavior of (brittle) MWCNT/VER composites has a linear correlation with the nanocomposite’sdeformation under monotonic and cycling loading.
• The changes in electrical resistance (reversible and irreversible) areable to identify the elastic, yielding and plastic zones of thenanocomposite (compression loading).
• It is possible to correlate the irreversible (permanent) changes ofelectrical resistance to the generation and accumulation of damagein the composite.
