  • Patent number: 12260968
    Abstract: A conductive composite structure has a conductive interface surface that enhances conductivity and provides corrosion protection by co-curing a metal-mesh gasket adjacent to a metal wire mesh layer in a multi-layer laminate structure. By co-curing metal-mesh gasket and metal wire mesh layers, gasket tear off and non-conductive resin face issues are eliminated. The conductive interface surface may be ablated to expose at least a portion of the metal-mesh gasket and create potential wire-to-wire contact points when complementary interface surfaces are brought together to create a highly conductive contact interface that eliminates or reduces electromagnetic shielding leakage within the conductive interface region.
