A google search revealed that it's possible, but it didn't turn up much about the techniques or materials used. Can I just use the nickel acetate method like this
I need to make electrical connections to carbon fibre used as an electrode in a carbon/epoxy capacitive sensor used in salt water, so it needs to be able to withstand soldering temperatures for a couple of seconds. A resistance of less than 100 Ohms is acceptable.
The expensive alternative is silver loaded epoxy. Carbon fibre is brittle so mechanical clamping is unlikely to give a long term reliable connection unless there are specialist connectors that I don't know about. Would weaving a metal wire through the matt before adding the epoxy achieve a reliable connection if pressure were applied during the cure process to force the wire and fibres together?
