Abstract
A polymer matrix composite structure for electrical purposes is produced by taking a fibre reinforcement substrate (1) to produce a pre-form (4) of a desired shape and configuration, metallising the pre-form to provide an electrically conductive coating for EMC capability, and impregnating the metallised pre-form with resin.
Claims10
A method of producing a polymer matrix composite structure of the kind including metallised fibres in a polymer material for electrical purposes, characterised in that the method comprises the steps of:
- a) firstly taking a fibre reinforcement substrate (1);
- b) secondly, pre-forming the substrate (1) to produce a pre-form (4) of a desired shape and configuration;
- c) thirdly, metallising the pre-form (4) to produce an electrically conductive coating for EMC capability;
- and
- d) fourthly, impregnating the metallised pre-form (4) with resin.
