Integrated manufacturing of REciclable multi-material COmposites for the TRANSport sector
STRUCTURAL COMPONENT FORMING AN ELECTRICAL POWER SOURCE, STRUCTURAL COMPONENT WITH AN ELECTRICAL TRANSMISSION DEVICE, METHOD FOR PROVIDING A STRUCTURAL COMPONENT FORMING AN ELECTRICAL POWER SOURCE AND/OR AN ELECTRICAL TRANSMISSION DEVICE, ELECTRICAL WIRING SYSTEM AND AIRCRAFT COMPONENT
A structural component includes a composite laminate built up of layers of carbon fibers, wherein the layers of carbon fibers are oriented in different directions and wherein the carbon fibers are surrounded by a conductive polymer resin. The carbon fibers of at least one of the layers include an electrically insulating coating, and wherein at least one of the coated carbon fibers extend through its respective layer to form an electrical connection between ends of the layer spaced apart from one another. With an ion-transmissive insulation coating the carbon fibers form anodes such that, together with a metal layer provided with the composite laminate forming an cathode, the structural is enabled to additionally form an integrated composite power source.
