The study describes a way to produce thin-layer sandwich structures containing layers of aluminum foil and an interlayer filler of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). To obtain a homogeneous structure of the composite, induction heat treatment was used combined with a device providing primary compression of the assembly. To determine the functional characteristics of sandwich structures, the homogeneity of their microstructure and surface conductivity were studied. It was found that the use of CNTs allowed increasing the surface conductivity by a factor of 8.3–9.5 compared to the sandwich structure without filler.
