Abstract
A composite includes a thermoplastic matrix material and a carbon nanotube (CNT)-infused fiber material dispersed through at least a portion of the thermoplastic matrix material.
Claims18
A composite comprising:
- a thermoplastic matrix material;
- and
- a CNT-infused glass fiber material;
- wherein the CNTs on said CNT-infused glass fiber material comprise between about 3 percent to about 10 percent of the composite by weight;
- wherein said composite exhibits electrical conductivity.
