N2 - Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs) are prone to severe damages by lightning strikes due to their low electrical conductivity. Current lightning strike protection (LSP) technology generally consists of metal foils/films on the surface of composite airframe structures. The present work aims to introduce all polymeric conductive layer for LSP of CFRP structures. Intrinsic conductive polymer i.e. Polyaniline (PANI) is used to make a thermosetting polymer mixture. CFRPs coated with this electrically conductive, all polymeric layer was tested against simulated lighting strike. It has been shown that PANI-LSP specimens dissipated the lightning current effectively and provided enough residual mechanical properties of CFRPs.
