  • METHOD OF COATING A COMPOSITE MATERIAL AND A COATED EDGE OF A COMPOSITE STRUCTURE
    Publication number: 20150111058
    Abstract: A method of coating a composite material and an associated coated composite structure are disclosed to provide increased wear resistance and surface protection. The edge of the composite material may be coated so as to provide protection for the edge. A method of coating a composite material includes applying an adhesion promotion layer to the composite material. The adhesion promotion layer includes a binder paint and a plurality of metal particles within the binder paint. The metal particles may be irregularly shaped.
