Abstract

Polyimide composites, impeded by the physicochemical property of resin matrix material, are difficult to apply in the working conditions at higher temperatures. In order to increase the heat resistance of the composites, in this paper, two comparable samples, with/without a graphite film on a side of composite laminate, were chosen, and were investigated by adding the point heat to the composite surface or graphite film surface. The temperature distribution evolutions of the panels are tested and simulated. The comparative analyses show that the graphite film plays an effective role of thermal conductivity in in-plane direction and thermal isolation in thickness direction, reducing the temperature of the composite layers under the graphite film. The heat will preferentially choose the path with high thermal conductivity, so with the graphite film on heating surface exhibits the lowest temperature peak and the most uniform in-plane temperature distribution under the same thermal load.
