ABSTRACT: The influence of fullerenes and their derivatives on the formation of carbon-reinforced epoxy composites and service characteristics
of the construction carbon-reinforced plastics thus formed have been studied. The technology of homogeneous distribution of
two- or four-walled carbon nanotubes in the bulk of epoxy oligomers has been developed. A lightning-protective coating on
the basis of a carbon-reinforced plastic (CRP) with a carbon-nanotube modifier has been designed. Owing to increased electrical
and heat conduction, high thermal destruction temperature, and improved performance characteristics, the designed CRP coating
exhibits improved safe damageability under direct stroke and lower weight compared to conventional brass grid lightning-protective
coatings.
