Abstract
A composite structure is provided that includes a polymer layer and an auxetic material layer disposed within or partially within the polymer layer. The auxetic material layer provides increased conductivity and elastomeric reinforcement to the polymer layer.
Claims33
A composite structure comprising:
- a polymer layer;
- and
- an auxetic material layer disposed within the polymer layer, wherein the auxetic material layer provides increased conductivity and elastomeric reinforcement to the polymer layer.
A composite structure comprising:
- a polymer layer;
- a first portion of an auxetic material layer embedded within the polymer layer, wherein the first portion of the auxetic material layer provides increased conductivity and elastomeric reinforcement to the polymer layer;
- and
- a second portion of the layer positioned external the polymer layer.
