- This paper reports the creation of a new manufacturing process for the electrical insulation of piezo-transducers in carbon/epoxy composites. It provides an important contribution towards the development of new-generation multi-functional composite materials for ultrasonic applications in various engineering fields (aerospace, energy and maritime). This paper was a contributory factor to the successful award of the DSTL/DASA-funded “MuST” project (~£210k) led by the University of Surrey, which aims at developing further this multi-functional composite technology. This research also supported the development of new advanced multi-functional composites for the EU H2020 EXTREME project.
