To address the challenge of balancing load-bearing and electromagnetic(EM)wave absorption prop-erties in aircraft composite skin,the outstanding mechanical and electrical characteristics of carbon fiber(CF)prepregs were utilized to construct a carbon fiber dual-polarized absorbing laminated structure(CFDALS).The bidirectional CF arrays were introduced into the glass fiber(GF)laminated structure,to endow the laminated structure with dual-polarized EM wave absorption performances.Additionally,the excellent load-bearing capac-ity of the CF reflector was used to enhance the mechanical properties.Simulation results indicate that,the CFDALS achieves an average absorptivity over 90%within the 8~18 GHz frequency band at incident angles of 0°~45°,and within the 5~18 GHz band at incident angles of 0°~60° for TE and TM polarized EM waves,respec-tively.The 3-point bending simulation results show that,the CFDALS exhibits higher specific flexural strengths and stiffnesses along 2 directions of the CF arrays while achieving dual-polarized EM wave absorption.Incorpo-ration of bidirectionally arranged CF prepregs into GF prepregs enhances the dual-polarized EM wave absorp-tion performance and the bidirectional flexural performance of the CFDALS simultaneously.The work provides a novel solution for the EM wave absorbing and load-bearing integrated design for aircraft composite skin appli-cations.
