Methods for Enhancing the Electrical Properties of Epoxy Matrix Composites

This paper presents ways to modify epoxy resin matrix composites increase their electrical conductivity. Good properties are particularly important for materials used in the construction of vehicles (cars, trains, airplanes) and other objects exposed lightning (e.g., wind turbines). When hull plating is made an conductor metal alloys) it acts as a Faraday cage upon discharge charge does not cause damage structure. Epoxy-resin-based have recently been frequently reduce weight structures, but due insulating resin, various modifications must be applied improve conductivity composite. The methods categorized into three groups: modification with conductive fillers, composite reinforcement, addition layers increased
