Abstract

Composite assemblies prepared from thermosettable matrix resin-impregnated fiber-reinforced prepregs, conductive metal screens, and film adhesives are provided which do not develop microcracks after extensive thermal cycling. The composite assemblies are particularly useful in the manufacture of vehicles in the transportation industry, especially aircraft.
