The development of multilayered polymeric/metallic materials by a PM route employing spark plasma sintering (SPS) has been explored. The aim is to produce composites that join a polymer with a metal for structural applications. In a first approach, the consolidation of polyimide-based composites by SPS was studied. For temperatures as low as 350°C, homogeneous mechanical properties were achieved in compression tests. In a second set of experiments, multilayered polyimide/aluminium composites were consolidated by SPS. These polymer-based composites could be used as an interlayer material to join effectively polyimide and aluminium.
