Definitions

  • a reinforcing structure for stiff composite articles is provided.
  • the invention relates to a reinforcing structure, comprising metallic elements, and the use of such reinforcing structure to reinforce stiff composite articles.
  • the invention further relates to stiff composite articles and a method to provide stiff composite articles.
  • Reinforcing structure are known to reinforce polymer articles. Often, glass fibers or C-fibers are used to reinforce polymer matrices, providing together a reinforced, eventually shaped article. During forming processes, the bending properties of the polymer matrix are influenced negatively, since the reinforcing structures are difficult to elongate.
  • metallic filaments or fibers are integrated into composite materials in order to obtain a material that is EMI shielded.
  • metallic filaments or fibers with fine diameters of 100 ⁇ m or less are used.
