Intercalated hybrid graphite fiber composite

摘要

Highly conducting lightweight hybrid materials are obtained by weaving strands of carbon or graphite fibers into a 2-dimensional fabric- like structure, depositing a layer of carbon onto the fibers of the fabric- like structure, heating the fabric-like structure to graphitize the carbon layer and intercalating the graphitized carbon layer. Composite materials for use in lightning strike protection are composed of at least one layer of the highly conducting lightweight hybrid material and at least one layer of traditional composite materials.
