The research on an industrially manufactured, electrically conductive glass fibre reinforced epoxy prepreg for aviation applications is reported. In a co-operative effort between Technical University Hamburg-Harburg (TUHH) and Daimler-Benz Aerospace Airbus (DASA) a new glass-epoxy composite with both electrical and good mechanical properties was successfully developed. The electrical conductivity was achieved adding carbon black as a conductive filler into the epoxy matrix and this at a very low level of content. The range of possible applications for this new material is not only limited to aviation. It can also be used in other transport systems or in electric and electronic devices.
