MICROSTRUCTURAL ENGINEERED THIN FILM MATERIAL FOR EM SHIELDING

DAMASKO, INC. PROPOSES TO DEVELOP A THIN FILM SHIELDING MATERIAL WHICH WILL HAVE PROPERTIES COMBINING THE DESIRABLE FEATURES OF GOOD CONDUCTOR AND A HIGHLY MAGNETIC METAL. THE FILM WILL BE DEPOSITED ONTO A FLEXIBLE SUBSTRATE WHICH WILL ALLOW IT TO BE LAMINATED TO FORM A COMPOSITE MATERIAL WITH GOOD STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES. THIS WILL RESULT IN A LIGHTWEIGHT STRUCTURE WHICH CAN BE MADE IN COMPLEX SHAPES BY LOW COST MOLDING AND LAMINATION TECHNIQUES. THE MAGNETIC FILM, INCLUDING THE SUBSTRATE, WILL BE THIN AND CAN BE PATTERNED. BY BONDING THE FILM TO A TRANSPARENT SUPPORT, A MAGNETIC SHIELDING MATERIAL WILL BE OBTAINED WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY TRANSPARENT.
