Abstract: A method for manufacturing an element (5) for electromagnetic shielding. The method is characterised by the steps of arranging, along a curve corresponding to the extension of the completed element (5), a viscous material (7) in the form of a bead (6), and orienting the particles (9) in the material (7) by applying a magnetic field (10) across said bead 86). The material (7) carries particles (9) with substantial electrical conductivity and also ferromagnetic and/or ferrimagnetic properties. The present invention also concerns a corresponding element for electromagnetic shielding, a device for electromagnetic shielding comprising such an element, use of such an element in a mobile phone and at a base station, and also a mobile phone and a base station comprising such an element.
