EMP Shielding Using Multilayer Film

Abstract

This program was to develop and fabricate a low cost composite shielding material (Multishield) that is capable of providing shielding against magnetic fields, including high strength fields. A continuous horizontal web production machine was manufactured and placed in operation. The project demonstrated that the multiple layered shielding material developed was effective at providing attenuation of magnetic fields. Additionally, the continuous electrodeposition system demonstrated that the material could be produced inexpensively in significant quantities. Current emphasis (which will continue via internally generated funds) will focus on improving the mechanical characteristics (i.e. ductility) and verifying the performance of cables using the braided wire.
