Abstract: Polymer matrix composites have been widely applied in many fileds due to their excellent properties. However, the internal cracks or defects of composites can easily lead to material failure. Early warning of material damage and real-time monitoring during its service can effectively improve their serving security. In this paper, the principle of self-sensing conductive polymer matrix composites is introduced and the research progress of polymer matrix composites with different reinforcements is analyzed. Furthermore, the research directions of in-situ monitoring of polymer matrix composites are pointed out.

Key words: composites, electrical performance, self-sensing, structural health monitoring
