摘要:
The invention relates to a part (1) including a structural portion made of an electrically insulating or low-conductive composite material (2), such that a piece containing glass fibres or carbon fibres is protected against the accumulation of electric charges or impact from lightning by a metallisation of the surface to be protected. The metallisation includes a screen (31) of an electrically conductive material covered with a layer of an electrically conductive paint (32). A sizing and priming layer (33) is also provided between the screen and the conductive paint, as well as a finish paint covering the conductive paint (32). The assembly results in a protection against impacts from lightning with a reduced size as compared to traditional metallisations with a metal screen.
摘要:
A lightweight radio/CD player for vehicular application is virtually “fastenerless” and includes a case and frontal interface formed of polymer based material that is molded to provide details to accept audio devices such as playback mechanisms (if desired) and radio receivers, as well as the circuit boards required for electrical control and display. The case and frontal interface are of composite structure, including an insert molded electrically conductive wire mesh screen that has been pre-formed to contour with the molding operation. The wire mesh provides EMC, RFI, BCI and ESD shielding and grounding of the circuit boards via exposed wire mesh pads and adjacent ground clips. The PCB architecture is bifurcated into a first board carrying common circuit components in a surface mount configuration suitable for high volume production, and a second board carrying application specific circuit components in a wave soldered stick mount configuration. The major components and subassemblies are self-fixturing during the final assembly process, eliminating the need for dedicated tools, fixtures and assembly equipment. The major components and subassemblies self-interconnect by integral guide and connection features effecting “slide lock” and “snap lock” self-interconnection. The radio architecture includes improved push buttons employing 4-bar living hinge linkage and front loaded decorative trim buttons.

A laminate of dielectric materials is disclosed for use in protecting an electronic device. The laminate includes at least one layer of a polymeric material having an active material dispersed within the polymeric material and having a first thickness. The active material is responsive to external electric fields such that a higher voltage external electric field may be applied to one side of the laminate without any voltage passing through the laminate than a maximum voltage that could be applied to the laminate without passing through the laminate when the active material is not present within the polymeric material having the first thickness.

Electrical conductivity can be induced in polymers selected from the group of substituted and unsubstituted polyanilines, polyparaphenylenvinyles, substituted and unsubstituted polythiophenes substituted and unsubstituted poly-p-phenylene sulfides, substituted polyfuranes, substituted polypyrroles, substituted polyselenophene, polyacetylines formed from soluble precursors, combinations thereof and blends thereof with other polymers. The polymer contains a doping precursor, selected from the group of onium salts, iodonium salts, triflate salts, borate salts and tosylate salts and sulfonoxylimides. Conductivity can be selectively induced in the polymer by selectively doping upon selective exposure to a source of energy such as electromagnetic radiation, an electron beam and heat. The electrically conductive polymers of the present invention are useful as electron discharge layers for electron beam applications, such as, SEM observations, as electromagnetic interference coatings on dielectric surfaces and as electron beam resist which acts as a discharge layer.

An electrostatic RF absorbant circuit carrier assembly (200) is described as having a plastic support structure (100) which consists of an integrally fashioned base (180) and surrounding sidewalls (170) which together form an internal cavity (185). A plurality of conductor paths (125,165) are disposed within the cavity (185). The assembly (200) is completed by a polymeric cover (110) having a surface integrally fashioned to comprise wall members (145) for making contact with conductive paths (165) within the cavity (185). In order to facilitate RF isolation and electrostatic dissipation, the cover (110) is layered with a surface material comprising:a thermosetting matrix system;a non-conductive RF absorbing filler comprising 25 to 87 percent by weight loading of the thermosetting matrix system; anda conductive filler comprising 1 to 4 percent by weight loading of the thermosetting matrix system and the RF absorbing filler.
摘要:
A method of grafting a conductive, tenacious, and protective coating on a metallic substrate. The metallic substrate, such as steel, aluminum, iron, platinum, silver, nickel, gold, cobalt, copper, copper alloys, or combinations thereof, is contacted with a composition having: (i) one or more polymerizable monomers having at least two functionalities; (ii) one or more graft initiators containing nickel ion in an amount effective to initiate the graft polymerization of the monomers; and (iii) a reducing agent capable of reducing nickel ion to nickel metal. The composition and substrate are heated for a time and at a temperature effective to graft polymerize the monomers and nickel metal onto the substrate and form a conductive, tenacious, and protective coating bonded to the substrate. The coating can also contain elemental phosphorous. Preferably, the coated substrate has a surface resistivity of less than 0.1 ohm per square. The method, coated substrate, and composition are useful for improving the electro-magnetic compatibility (EMC) and electro-static discharge (ESD) protection of electrical enclosures.
