Background
The composite material is a material which is composed of two or more materials with different properties and has new performance macroscopically by a physical or (and) chemical method. The materials mutually make up for the deficiencies in performance to generate a synergistic effect, so that the comprehensive performance of the composite material is superior to that of the original composition material to meet various different requirements. The functional composite material is a composite material which provides other physical properties besides mechanical properties, such as conductive, superconducting, semi-conductive, magnetic, piezoelectric, damping, wave-absorbing, sound-absorbing, friction, shielding, flame-retardant, heat-proof, heat-insulating and other functional composite materials. The functional composite material mainly comprises a functional body and a matrix, or comprises two (or more) functional bodies, the functional properties of the functional composite material are mainly provided by the functional bodies, but the matrix mainly plays a role in shaping, and simultaneously, the matrix can also influence the overall physical properties of the composite material. The functional composite material is composed of metal and metal composite, nonmetal and metal composite, and nonmetal composite.
The metal interlayer polymer matrix composite material is a functional material prepared by compounding metal, different polymers and other functional materials through a special gradient preparation technology, has the characteristics of strong designability, high specific strength, excellent elasticity, corrosion resistance, good structural size stability, good fatigue fracture resistance and the like, and is widely applied to the fields of aviation and aerospace. However, compared with the traditional metal material, the insulating high polymer on the surface of the metal sandwich polymer matrix composite obstructs the conductive path; when the airplane is struck by lightning, the lightning current is difficult to be led out through the surface of the material to generate a large amount of heat, and as a result, the composite material is ablated, so that the strength and the rigidity of the composite material are greatly reduced, and great challenge is brought to the safety and the economy of the airplane structure.
