Magnetostriction is an inherent property of magnetic materials which allows strain or magnetic fields to be detected. This makes it very attractive for sensors in the area of structural health monitoring by detecting internal strains in carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite. Inkjet printing offers design flexibility for these sensors to influence the magnetic response to the strain. This allows the sensor to be tailored to suit the location of defects in the CFRP. This research has looked into the viability of printable soft magnetic materials for structural health monitoring (SHM) of CFRP. Magnetite and nickel ink dispersions were selected to print using the JetLab 4 drop-on-demand technique. The printability of both inks was tested by selecting substrate, viscosity and solvent evaporation. Clogging was found to be an issue for both ink dispersions. Sonicating and adjusting the jetting parameters helped in distributing the nanoparticles. We found that magnetite nanoparticles were ideal as a sensor as there is more than double increase in saturation magnetisation by 49 Am2\/kg and more than quadruple reduction of coercive field of 5.34 kA\/m than nickel. The coil design was found to be the most sensitive to the field as a function of strain, where the gradient was around 80% higher than other sensor designs. Additive layering of 10, 20 and 30 layers of a magnetite square patch was investigated, and it was found that the 20-layered magnetite print had an improved field response to strain while maintaining excellent print resolution. SHM of CFRP was performed by inducing a strain via bending and it was found that the magnetite coil detected a change in field as the strain was applied.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s24144657","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,18]],"date-time":"2024-07-18T08:39:12Z","timestamp":1721291952000},"page":"4657","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Inkjet Printing Magnetostrictive Materials for Structural Health Monitoring of Carbon Fibre-Reinforced Polymer Composite"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Nisar","family":"Ahmed","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Additive Manufacturing, Faculty of Engineering, University of Nottingham, Nottingham NG7 2RD, UK"},{"name":"Department of Materials Science and Engineering, University of Sheffield, Sheffield S1 3JD, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Patrick J.","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Sheffield, Sheffield S1 3JD, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nicola A.","family":"Morley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Materials Science and Engineering, University of Sheffield, Sheffield S1 3JD, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"110172","DOI":"10.1016\/j.matdes.2021.110172","article-title":"The shape\u2014Morphing performance of magnetoactive soft materials","volume":"211","author":"Bastola","year":"2021","journal-title":"Mater.
