Patent number: 10856455Abstract: Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding panels and associated methods. An EMI shielding panel includes a binding matrix material and electrically conductive elements distributed throughout the binding matrix material. The electrically conductive elements are aligned such that conductive element longitudinal axes of the electrically conductive elements are at least substantially parallel to a shielding axis of the EMI shielding panel. The electrically conductive elements are configured to at least partially attenuate an incident electromagnetic wave that is incident upon the EMI shielding panel. A method of forming an EMI shielding panel includes providing a shielding mixture that includes electrically conductive elements distributed throughout an uncured binding matrix material, magnetically aligning the electrically conductive elements, and curing the binding matrix material to form the EMI shielding panel.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2019Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Russell Patrick Mott, Andrew Paul Nowak, Ashley M. Dustin, Richard E. Sharp
