Multifunctional paints and caulks with controllable electromagnetic properties
Abstract:
An electrically conductive paint/caulk is disclosed that may be applied by spraying, rolling, and/or brushing using conventional techniques/may be dispensed from a tube. The electrically conductive paint/caulk has a plurality of metal-coated fibers precision chopped to short lengths, optionally a plurality of conductive filament structures having a high-aspect ratio, and a polymer base. The metal-coated fibers and optional conductive filament structures are dispersed uniformly within the polymer base to create a complex electron transport system facilitating conductivity sufficient for a full range of electromagnetic properties including electrostatic dissipation, electrostatic discharge, and shielding. The complex electron transport system created facilitates the full range of electromagnetic properties with lower loadings of conductors, reduces viscosity, and the additional unloaded portion of paint/caulk receives other multifunctional additives.
