Abstract: A surface coating for lightning protection is embodied as a composite material including a matrix formed from a polysilazane or of a polysiloxane, and filled with lamellar, ceramic particles having an electrically conductive coating of metal oxide. The surface coating may be applied to a blade of a wind turbine by applying the conductive coating in liquid form to the blade, allowing the surface coating to harden at room temperature, and pyrolyzing the surface coating via short periods at temperatures up to 700° C. to form a glassy, electrically conductive coating that is resistant to temperature changes.
