Multifunctional composites
Multifunctional composites
Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are widely used in high-performance applications like commercial aircraft, military aircraft, turbines, automobile and sports industries due to its high specific strength, stiffness and corrosion resistance. In CFRP composites, fibers are encapsulating with insulating polymer results into low thermal, electrical and shielding properties which limit their use. Therefore, multifunctional composites are necessary to develop so that CFRP can have better electrical and thermal properties along with mechanical properties.
