A method of improving the material properties of a composite by
electrodepositing various polymers, organic compounds or inorganic
compounds onto each individual carbon (graphite) fiber strand, whether
individual fiber or as a fabric to form an homogeneous chemically-bonded
composite as opposed to the formation of a heterogeneous, non-chemically
bonded composite. Thus, electrodeposition forms a unique discrete
interface at the molecular layer (nanolayer) between the reinforcement
(fiber) and the matrix (resin) over as opposed to any previous resin
infusion process.
