Multi-material braids for multifunctional laminates: conductive through-thickness reinforcement

Abstract Conventional carbon fibre laminates are known to be moderately electrically conductive in-plane, but have a poor through-thickness conductivity. This poses a problem for functionality aspects that are of increasing importance to industry, such as sensing, current collection, inductive/resis...
