Title: Structurally Integrable Electrode and Associated Assembly and Fabrication Method
Author(s): NONE
Abstract: A structurally integrable electrode, an assembly with an integrated electrode, and an associated method are provided. The electrode is configured to provide an electrically conductive path between nodes of an electrical circuit of a structural member. In particular, the electrode includes at least one conductive tow having a core and a conductive coating thereon. Electrically conductive contacts are connected to the ends of the tow, and at least one dielectric ply extends parallel to the tow to at least partially insulate the tow. Thus, the first and second contacts can be connected to the nodes of the circuit, and the tow can be structurally integrated with the structural member so that the tow provides an electrically conductive path between the nodes.
