A fiber-reinforced polymer composition is provided comprising a fiber and an adhesive composition, wherein the adhesive composition comprises at least an interfacial material comprising a thermosetting resin, a curing agent, and a conductive material. The fiber reinforced polymer composition has a z-direction electrical conductivity of 1 S/m or more when cured, and the adhesive composition forms a good bond with the reinforcing fibers. The interfacial region between the reinforcing fiber and the adhesive composition includes an interfacial material. Further embodiments include a conductive prepreg, a multifunctional prepreg having load-transfer and non-load transfer functions, and an adhesive composition and a method of making a composite article by curing of reinforcing fibers. |
