This review summarizes the most recent advances in multifunctional polymer nanocomposites reinforced by carbon nanotubes and aims to stimulate further research in this field. Experimental and theoretical investigations of the mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of carbon nanotubes and their composite counterparts are presented. This review identifies the processing challenges associated with this class of materials and presents techniques that are currently being adopted to address these challenges and their relative merits. This review suggests possible future trends, opportunities, and challenges in the field and introduces the use of these multifunctional nanocomposites in structural health monitoring applications.
