Determination of Local Electrical Properties Using a Potential Field Measurement for Electrically Conductive Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics with Metal Contact Pins Joined via Injection Molding.

Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) bear a high potential in terms of electrical conductivity and its potential applications. A locally resolved electrical measurement method for these anisotropic materials is a key prerequisite for understanding the structural and manufacturing process-related interrelationships. The aim of this paper is to develop a measurement method that allows this to be achieved and also to investigate areas of overmolded metal contact pins in detail.
