Nanosensors for embedded monitoring of construction materials: the '2D conformable' route

Nanosensors for embedded monitoring of construction materials: the '2D conformable' route: We propose an approach to embedded monitoring of construction materials relying on 2D, conformable architectures that are expected to be lower cost and more robust than their 3D counterparts. In this article, we present two examples: a RFID-enabled carbon nanotube strain sensor on plastic for microcrack monitoring in concrete and a nanoparticle-asphalt sandwich for weigh-in-motion applications.
