20120111614 | Integrated composite structure and electrical circuit utilizing carbon fiber as structural materials and as electric conductor - A multifunctional paradigm is disclosed of “Strength Power to Weight”. Carbon tow is measured in individual fiber count per cross section. In terms of electrical conductivity, the individual fiber count total is analogous to a cross sectional wire gauge for corresponding metal (i.e. gold, copper, aluminum, silver, etc.). Tow segments are constructed/assembled/situated as being part of an electric circuit as well as being part of a laminated composite structure. For the electrical circuit, necessary electrical components are fixed to the carbon tow conductor using any of “soldering” (adhesive), “welding” (cohesion), or held in contact with mechanical force. The circuit is wetted out, allowed to cure (either before or along with the rest of the background laminate), and ultimately becomes a heterogeneous extremely light solid that conducts electrical power and provides additional structure to the composite as well. | 2012-05-10 |
