Damage tolerance, reliability, and sensing/actuating abilities are within the forefront of research for aerospace composite materials and structures. The scope of this chapter is to identify the potential application of incorporating carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in novel hybrid material systems. CNTs may be employed as an additive in the matrix of Fibre Reinforced Plastics (FRP) for producing structural composites with improved mechanical performance as well as sensing/actuating capabilities. The novel multi-scale reinforced composite materials are by definition multifunctional as they combine better structural performance with smart features that may include strain monitoring, damage sensing and even actuation capabilities. This introductory chapter provides an overview of the concepts and technologies related to the hierarchical composite systems that will be elaborated in the following chapters, i.e. modelling, enhancement of structural efficiency, dispersion and manufacturing, integral health monitoring abilities, Raman monitoring, as well as the capabilities that ordered carbon nanotube arrays offer in terms of sensing and/or actuating in aerospace composites.
