Zusammenfassung:Composite structures and methods for mitigating edge glow resulting from lightning strikes on composite structures, such as aerospace structures, containing carbon fiber reinforced plastic components. One or more thin layers of conductive coating material is applied over a cut edge or drop off of the carbon fiber reinforced plastic components to reduce inter-ply voltage potential between composite layers of the carbon fiber reinforced plastic component. The conductive coating material is made of a conductive doping material dispersed in a carrier medium.
