RT Conference Proceedings T1 Enhancement of electrical conductivity of composite structures by integration of cnts via bulk resin and/or buckypaper films A1 Gaztelumendi, I. A1 Chapartegui, M. A1 Seddon, R. A1 Flórez, S. A1 Pons, F. A1 Cinquin, J. A1 Korzhenko, A. AB This work describes two approaches for the incorporation of Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) in CFRP composites by infusion processing methods: firstly through the addition of the CNTs in the bulk resin to improve the electrical properties of the epoxy matrix prior to infusion [1], and secondly by the addition of CNT-based buckypaper (BP) in the CFRP structure for enhanced electrical properties [2]. Several laminates were manufactured with different formulations. A cross check of EC testing was carried out among different laboratories in order to compare different surface preparations and test methods. This characterization was completed with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analyses, in order to assess the presence of the filtering effect. In addition, ILSS tests were performed, comparing the results of the different formulations.
