Abstract: A polymer composition is taught and claimed, the composition comprising polymer, boron nitride and magnesium silicate, wherein the composition has certain thermal conductivity and dielectric properties. Additionally, the composition may be injection moldable.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are example embodiments of electromagnetic interference (EMI) shields and method of making EMI shields. In an exemplary embodiment, a method generally includes coating at least part of a core member with metallic material, and coating at least part of the metallic material with a polymer to thereby inhibit separation of the metallic material from the core member. An example EMI shield generally includes a core member, a metallic coating covering at least part of the core member, and a polymeric coating covering at least part of the metallic coating to inhibit separation of the metallic coating from the core member.

Abstract: Electrically conductive compositions and composites, and methods of making the same are disclosed herein. An exemplary electrically conductive composite includes a polymer and a filler comprising a porous particle at least partially coated with metal. Additional fillers may be added, including metal particles such as acicular copper. Also disclosed are articles including the polymers and fillers and methods for their manufacture, where such articles may include an interconnect, circuit board, semiconductor, radio frequency identification tag, printed circuit, flexible circuit, tape, film, adhesive, gasket, sealant, ink, or paste.
