Multifunctional Ceramic Composite System for Simultaneous Thermal Protection and Electromagnetic Interference Shielding for Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites.

Achieving a high electrical conductivity while maintaining a good thermal insulation is often contradictory in the material design for the goal of simultaneous thermal protection and electromagnetic interference shielding. The reason is that materials with a high electrical conductivity often pertain a high thermal conductivity. To address this challenge, this study reports a multifunctional ceramic composite system for carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composites.
