Abstract
A method for making a conductive pre-impregnated composite sheet includes the steps of joining a nanomaterial composite sheet, a fiber-reinforcing sheet and a resin system to form a combined sheet, heating the combined sheet, compacting the combined sheet, and cooling the combined sheet to form conductive pre-impregnated composite sheet including the fiber-reinforcing sheet, and the nanomaterial composite sheet coupled to the fiber-reinforcing sheet, wherein the fiber-reinforcing sheet and the nanomaterial composite sheet are embedded in the resin system.
Claims20
A method for making a conductive pre-impregnated composite sheet, said method comprising:
- joining a nanomaterial composite sheet, a fiber-reinforcing sheet and a resin system to form a combined sheet;
- heating said combined sheet;
- compacting said combined sheet;
- and
- cooling said combined sheet.
A conductive pre-impregnated composite sheet comprising:
- a fiber-reinforcing sheet;
- and
- a nanomaterial composite sheet coupled to said fiber-reinforcing sheet,
- wherein said fiber-reinforcing sheet and said nanomaterial composite sheet are embedded in a resin system.
A composite structure comprising:
- at least one fiber-reinforced polymer sheet;
- and
- a conductive pre-impregnated composite sheet, wherein said conductive pre-impregnated composite sheet comprises:
- a fiber-reinforcing sheet;
- and
- a nanomaterial composite sheet coupled to said fiber-reinforcing sheet,
- wherein said fiber-reinforcing sheet and said nanomaterial composite sheet are embedded in a resin system.
