  • Publication number: 20230119856
    Abstract: A thermally conductive electromagnetically absorbing material includes a plurality of particles dispersed in a binder. The plurality of particles can have a particle size distribution having at least three peaks, where at least a majority of particles within a half width at half maximum of one, but not the other ones, of the at least three peaks are at least partially coated with an electromagnetically absorbing coating. The plurality of particles can include pluralities of first and second particles where a total number of the first particles is at most 1% of a total number of the first and second particles and where the first particles are more electromagnetically absorbing than the second particles. Films, molded articles and systems including the thermally conductive electromagnetically absorbing material are described.

  • Publication number: 20100208440
    Abstract: A passive electrical article includes a first electrically conductive substrate having a major surface and a second electrically conductive substrate having a major surface. The major surface of the second substrate faces the major surface of the first substrate. An electrically resistive layer is on at least one of the major surface of the first substrate and the major surface of the second substrate. An electrically insulative layer is between the first and second substrates and in contact with the electrically resistive layer. The insulative layer is a polymer having a thickness ranging from about 1 ?m to about 20 ?m. The insulative layer has a substantially constant thickness.
