Microwave-absorbing form-in-place paste

摘要

A microwave-absorbing material which can be dispensed from standard form-in-place dispensing equipment combines a liquid resin system with a magnetic or lossy dielectric filler. In a preferred embodiment, the liquid resin system is a silicone resin system and the magnetic filler is iron carbonyl powder. The microwave-absorbing material is dispensed into a housing for electronic equipment. It may be dispensed into a cavity in the housing where it self-levels and cures. Alternatively, it may be dispensed onto a surface in the housing where, because of its thixotropic properties, it holds its shape and forms a pad of cured microwave-absorbing material thereon.
