Metal Rubber Product Information (152 kb)
NanoSonic’s Metal Rubber™ is a highly electrically conductive and highly flexible elastomer. It can be mechanically strained to greater than 1000 percent of its original dimensions while remaining electrically conductive. As Metal Rubber can carry data and electrical power and is environmentally rugged, it opens up a new world of applications requiring robust, flexible and stretchable electrical conductors in the aerospace/defense, electronics and bioengineering markets.
TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION
Metal Rubber is made through a modified molecular-level self-assembly production process using precursors NanoSonic produces in-house. Materials are manufactured in a variety of sizes and geometries. Applications include but are not limited to:
Metal Rubber Cables
- Replace heavy data and power cables
- Flexible Metal Rubber conductors, Metal Rubber fabrics and CNTs
- Lightweight, improved EMI shielding
- Related production of novel cylinfrical tubing and hoses
Metal Rubber Shielding
- Lightweight, environmentally durable
- Based on nanostructured Metal Rubber and carbon nanotubes
- Broadband or frequency selective
Metal Rubber Sensors
- Shear force and pressure sensor thin-film appliques
- Single element and multi-element arrays
- Water and wind tunnel analysis at moderate/high Re
