Abstract: The increasing demand for lightweight, intelligent, and structurally reliable automotive components has accelerated the development of multifunctional hybrid materials capable of simultaneously providing superior mechanical performance and real-time structural health monitoring. In this study, a novel layered metal–polymer hybrid laminate incorporating an embedded flexible impact sensor was developed for connected automotive panel applications. The laminate was fabricated using AA6061-T6 aluminum alloy face sheets and a thermoplastic polyurethane interlayer through hot-press …
