Different polyaniline (PANI) based lightning strike protection (LSP) coating thicknesses were tested against simulated lightning strike tests to evaluate the threshold thickness of the coating. A series of lightning strike tests were performed on carbon/glass fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP/GFRP) composites subjected to simulated lightning currents ranging from 40 to 100 kA. Five LSP-coated specimens were considered herein: two CFRP and three GFRP composites. A minimum of∼ 345 μ m thick PANI-based LSP coating on CFRP and GFRP composites under a 40 kA peak current retained 83% and 100% residual strength, respectively. Additionally, GFRP specimens tested against 60 and 100 kA peak currents exhibited 100% residual strength. This study proposes that a PANI-based LSP coating is suitable for protecting GFRP composites, while the careful design is necessary for CFRP composites to avoid any catastrophic failure.
