Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional electromagnetic shielding materials face challenges in achieving effective heat dispersion, structural strength, light weight, and shock-absorbing properties while maintaining electromagnetic shielding effectiveness, particularly due to high interface resistance and inadequate bonding between layers.

Innovation Solution

A clad type electromagnetic shielding material is manufactured by mechanically and metallurgically bonding a flexible electrically conductive metallic layer with a magnetically conductive metallic layer using a rolling process, and then adhering a shock-absorbing insulation layer with a binder, allowing for controlled rolling and heating to achieve uniform bonding strength and stable thickness, thereby optimizing electromagnetic shielding and incorporating additional properties like heat dispersion and structural strength.
