Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a method of producing a film for use with de-icing and EMI shielding. The film is a multilayer film on a substrate comprising a layer of PEFOT:PSS, a AgNW layer and a second PEDOT:PSS layer. The film is produced by a simple low-cost fabrication method and does not require vacuum, pressing or high temperature processing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a nanomaterial comprising a nanoclay having a layered structure and carbon nanotubes being intercalated between layers of the layered of the nanoclay, and manufacturing method thereof.

Abstract: There is an electromagnetic interference shield and methods of constructing an electromagnetic interference shield. An electromagnetic interference shield has a network of conductive nanowires dispersed in a matrix material. The conductive nanowires form a segregated network. The segregated network may be a honeycomb network In a method for constructing an electromagnetic interference shield, a composite of conductive nanowires and matrix material is produced. Pockets of matrix material are formed within the composite of nanowires and matrix material. The pockets of matrix material may be formed by precipitation of the matrix material from a solvent or through dry-mixing of the composite with a second matrix material.

Abstract: Polyetherimide compositions having low warp and conductive properties are provided. The compositions are prepared by combining a polyetherimide resin or polyetherimide-copolymer resin and a filler wherein the filler comprises a plate-like filler and a conductive filler.

Abstract: A molding composition with improved impact strength and surface gloss is disclosed comprising: (a) at least one thermoplastic polyimide resin; (b) at least one second thermoplastic resin which is chemically distinct from any polyimide resin; and (c) a poly(diorganosiloxane), and optional additives such as pigments, fillers, lubricants, viscosity modifiers, heat stabilizers, flame retardants, and the like. In another embodiment a method of making a polyimide molding composition is disclosed, which comprises blending (a) at least one thermoplastic polyimide resin; (b) at least one second thermoplastic resin which is chemically distinct from any polyimide resin; and (c) a poly(diorganosiloxane). In another embodiment articles made from the molding compositions are disclosed.

Abstract: A single extruder screw is presented which includes a plurality of equidistant undercut barriers disposed in a preselected pattern within the channel of an extrusion screw. The undercut barriers are disposed in the first metering stage and second metering stage and provide increased dispersive and distributed mixing for highly viscous difficult to blend materials. In another embodiment the single extruder includes a slotted blister ring, having slots and lands disposed thereon, positioned between the first metering stage and the vent zone to further increase the amount of mixing.
