Carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) structures are used in modern airliner. An impact may damage the inner structure of the composite without any visible marks on its surface. So, the solution that is investigated by CATALYSE is the application of a coating that would reveal impacts. This technology is based on microcapsules with a manifest color change (under visual and UV light). Different types of capsules were tested with different active components.
