Abstract Conductive nanomaterials (such as carbon nanotube, graphene, etc.) have been widely used in interlaminar stiffening, electromagnetic shielding and structural health monitoring of composites due to their remarkable piezoresistive properties. These materials, integrated into composites in the form of powders, films or fibers, enable intelligent perception throughout the entire lifecycle — from manufacturing process optimization to in-service condition monitoring, which rely on its resistance variation. Current research focuses on three core challenges:the dispersion mechanism of conductive fillers, the evolution of electrical signals in conductive networks and the improvement of response sensitivity. This paper systematically reviews recent advancements in the molding and curing, flow front/permeability measurements, composites damage, and stress-strain monitoring of resin matrix composites, overcoming the limitations of conventional offline inspection methods. Its industrial applications can be extended to high-end equipment of aerospace, wind power, new energy, and rail transit, and civilian wearable devices and other fields, providing innovative solutions for full-process quality management of large composite structures.
