  • Publication number: 20210403711
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to articles for transmitting and/or receiving radio waves therethrough having a frequency in the range of 0.5 GHz to 81 GHz. The articles include a thermoplastic resin including a polyamide and provide low signal attenuation of the radio waves transmitted or received therethrough. An amount of 0 wt % to 99.9 wt % of the article is a shielding material that provides greater attenuation of radio waves in at least one region of the article including the shielding material at one or more frequencies in the range of 0.5 GHz to 81 GHz as compared to the same region of the article without the shielding material.
