In 2018, Prof. Schubert published a novel theoretical approach to describing the electrical conductivity of carbon fibre-reinforced thermoplastics (mats.201700104) to describe the resistivity (conductivity) of carbon fibre (CF) composites as a function of orientation, filling fraction and aspect ratio below the percolation threshold. Shortly after the publication of the theoretical work, the Guanda Yang and LSP simulation team demonstrated the validity of the above theoretical work (mats.201700105) through computer simulations.
The findings will also be published in the journal “Macromolecular Theory and Simulations“.
