High-performance thermoplastic conductive nanocomposites poly(ether ketone ketone)/silver nanowires for aeronautical applications

Nowadays composite materials are increasingly used by aeronautical companies to reduce the aircrafts weight. In spite of the electrical conductivity of carbon fibers, composites have a poor isotropic conductivity [1]. This low conductivity made composite structures more vulnerable to withstand to lightning strikes and unable to prevent electrostatic accumulation.
