CNS-shielded wires

摘要

A shielded wire includes a carbon nanostructure (CNS)-shielding layer including a CNS material in a matrix material, the CNS-shielding layer being monolithic and disposed about a dielectric layer and a conducting wire, wherein the dielectric layer is disposed between the CNS-shielding layer and the conducting wire. An extruded thermoplastic jacket includes a CNS material, the extruded thermoplastic jacket being configured to protect at least one wire. A thermoplastic article includes a CNS-infused fiber material and a flexible thermoplastic.

1. A shielded wire comprising:
a carbon nanostructure (CNS)-shielding layer comprising a CNS material in a matrix material, the CNS-shielding layer being monolithic and disposed about a conducting wire and an optional dielectric layer, wherein when the dielectric layer is present, it is disposed between the CNS-shielding layer and the conducting wire;
wherein the CNS material comprises individual carbon nanotubes, shared-wall carbon nanotubes, branched carbon nanotubes, and crosslinked carbon nanotubes in a random distribution; and a braided shield comprising a second CNS material;
wherein the second CNS material comprises individual carbon nanotubes, shared-wall carbon nanotubes, branched carbon nanotubes, and crosslinked carbon nanotubes in a random distribution.
