Polymer matrix composites have been widely used in the field of EMI shielding due to their low density, corrosion resistance, competitive prices and good processability [7,8]. However, most of the polymer matrix is inherently insulating, which severely limits the applications in electronic products,...
composites may reduce the tooling and assembly costs, the processing cost due to higher cycle time causes the total manufacturing cost to be high. For building up confidence in polymer matrix composites for structural automotive applications, long-term durability data, reliable joining techniques and ...
to be capable of grafting the pre-carbon matrix to the carbon-fiber reinforcement. This can not only enhance the interfacial strength of the composites described herein but also have more far-reaching applications for other classes of carbon-fiber composites. Another completely unknown frontier is th...
