Solution Overview

Problem

Electromagnetic wave suppression sheets using chlorinated polyethylene as a binder can swell and cause damage when exposed to high temperatures due to a reaction with metal magnetic powder, leading to potential compression of electronic device housings or substrates.

Innovation Solution

An electromagnetic wave suppression sheet is formulated with chlorinated polyethylene, metal magnetic powder having an oxidized coating film, and a phosphorous-based chelating agent, with an oxygen content of 0.4 to 1.1 wt.% in the metal magnetic powder, to inhibit the reaction and maintain magnetic permeability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If chlorinated polyethylene is used as the binder in electromagnetic wave suppression sheet, then flame retardancy and moldability are improved, but the sheet swells and generates gas when used in high temperature environment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflame retardancyVSAvoidsheet swelling
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

An oxidized coating film is introduced as an intermediary layer between the metal magnetic powder and chlorinated polyethylene binder. This coating film acts as a barrier that prevents direct contact and chemical reaction between the binder and metal powder, thereby eliminating the swelling issue while preserving the flame retardancy and moldability benefits of chlorinated polyethylene

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates a composite structure where metal magnetic powder particles are coated with an oxidized film, forming a multi-layered composite material. This composite approach allows the system to simultaneously achieve flame retardancy from chlorinated polyethylene, electromagnetic wave suppression from metal powder, and thermal stability from the oxidized coating film

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Stability of the object's composition

If the oxygen content of metal magnetic powder is increased to suppress reaction with chlorinated polyethylene, then swelling is reduced, but magnetic permeability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresistance to swellingVSAvoidmagnetic permeability
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The invention optimizes the oxygen content parameter of the metal magnetic powder to a specific range (0.4-1.1 wt.%) to achieve the desired balance. By precisely controlling this parameter, the oxidized coating film provides sufficient protection against swelling while maintaining adequate magnetic permeability for effective electromagnetic wave suppression
