COMPOSITE STRUCTURES HAVING BONDLINES WITH MATCHED ELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE

Two composite laminates are joined together by a bondline (22) having portions exposed to the ambient environment. The bondline contains scrim (32) having an electrical conductivity and impedance matched to that of the laminates in order to mitigate effects of lightning strikes.
