Abstract
Systems, structures, and methods include a structure formed from a plurality of layers of matrix material. A bus is secured between adjacent layers of the plurality of layers of the matrix material. The bus includes a conductive gel configured to propagate an electrical signal through the structure.
Claims20
A method of manufacturing a molded article, comprising the steps of:
- forming a bus from a first material and a conductor, wherein forming the bus includes depositing the conductor on a sheet made from the first material;
- placing the bus in a mold;
- and
- surrounding at least a portion of the bus with a second material within the mold, the second material being a matrix material in an uncured state;
- curing the second material to cause the first material to bond with the second material and encapsulate, at least in part, the bus within the second material.
