摘要 |
A non-woven fabric consisting of random entangled staple fibers which serves as a supporting structure is first subjected to pressure spraying on each side with a paint-like liquid comprised of a water base, or of a petroleum solvent thinner containing micron sized particles, such as copper treated with a suitable compatible binder, such as polyester epoxy, or acrylic resins. After spraying and drying, all solvents are removed by air circulating in an oven. The thus-sprayed fabric is then passed through apparatus which simultaneously heats and compresses the fabric to greatly reduce its thickness to form a sheet in which the entrained metal particles are brought into intimate contact with each other, thereby to impart conductivity to the fabric sheet.
