    摘要: A conductive carbon fiber reinforced composite comprising: a metal-coated carbon fiber fabric laminated with a nanocomposite resin, the nanocomposite resin comprising a mixture of: a polymerizable thermosetting polymer, a conductive filler, and a carbonaceous fiber-like filler. A method of forming a conductive carbon fiber reinforced composite, the composite comprising a metal-coated carbon fiber fabric laminated with a nanocomposite resin, the nanocomposite resin comprising a mixture of: a polymerizable thermosetting polymer, a conductive filler, and a carbonaceous fiber-like filler, the method comprising the steps of: a) forming the nanocomposite resin; b) forming the metal-coated carbon fiber fabric; and c) laminating the metal-coated carbon fiber fabric with the nanocomposite resin using one of: a wet lay-up process followed by hot-press curing under vacuum, a vacuum infusion process, a prepreg fabrication process, and a resin transfer molding process.
