Zusammenfassung:Systems and methods for forming ceramic matrix composite (CMC) components are provided. The CMC component includes a reinforcement material having a plurality of filaments that are at least partially electrically conductive. The plurality of filaments are charged by a charging element with an electric charge of the same sign such that adjacent filaments are in an expanded spatial relationship relative to one another while being coated. While in the expanded spatial relationship, the filaments can also be pulled through a matrix slurry.
