Definitions
- the invention is a coating that can be used for electromagnetic shielding.
- a composition comprising cylindrically shaped metal or metal-coated particles and a polymer latex dispersion.
- a coating comprising cylindrically shaped metal or metal-coated particles and a polymer matrix formed from a latex dispersion; wherein the particles form a continuous, conductive network.
- a method of electromagnetic shielding comprising the steps of: providing a composition comprising cylindrically shaped metal or metal-coated particles and a polymer latex dispersion; applying the composition to a surface; and drying the applied composition.
- composition of the present invention may be a water based coating that is VOC free and which may be applied to a range of surfaces such as wallboard, wood, plywood, previously painted or plastered surfaces, masonry surfaces, glass, and plastic surfaces in such a manner that it would not be obvious that such surface contained a coating designed to protect electronic contents.
- a coating made from drying the composition can have the ability to interact with eleclromagnetic radiation and to eithei transmit that radiation or to attenuate the radiation in such a manner that it provides anti -eavesdropping protection t ⁇ • structures in which it is utilized as a coating.
- the frequency range of the coating may be rather broadband as the coating by design may develop a random trabecular network of electronically conducting paths of assorted orientation and path lengths.
- Two features of the coating permit it to function at low metallic loadings.
- the first feature is that a conductive network can be formed from hollow metallic cylinders, which may be microscopic, have a high aspect ratio, and a surface texture that will allow contact between cylinders.
- the second feature is the use of a diluted polymer latex matrix that can physically restrict the microcylinders to the fraction of the coating containing the solvent matrix, as shown in Fig. 1.
- a diluted polymer latex matrix that can physically restrict the microcylinders to the fraction of the coating containing the solvent matrix, as shown in Fig. 1.
- the coating dries it tends to segregate the metallic microcylinders to a restricted area between the latex particles and thus concentrates the microcylinders into a restricted space that tends to force contact and locally increase their concentration, as shown in Fig. 2.
- the amount of microcylinders required to form conductive networks can be reduced when compared to very small metallic particulates. This is possible due to the fact that a majority of the initial coating may be solvent which as it evaporates causes a loss of volume which forces the tubules and polymer latex into contact, with the coalescence of the coating.
- the microcylinders may be compressed in the former solvent filled space and are then held in that orientation in the finished polymer coating. This tends to reduce both theH ⁇ gl ⁇ irid the ' b ⁇ k1b i the coating.
- the coating may provide shielding for personnel within such a facility from the use of electronic personnel location devices such that the number or location of persons within the facility could not be determined from external detectors.
- the metallic microcylinders may comprise, but is not limited to, any of iron, nickel, copper, and permalloy and may be over coated with silver, gold, or cobalt in order to provide for a reduction in oxidation.
- the size of the particles may be, but is not limited to, at most about 200 ⁇ m in length and from about 0.005 to about 1 ⁇ m in diameter.
- the aspect ratio of the particles may be, but is not limited to, from about 10 to about 100.
- the coating also may consist of conductive metallic cylinders or cylinders that are made from magnetic materials or a combination.
- the microtubules can be made from membrane-forming biomaterials, such as lipids. These microtubules are biologically derived, hollow organic cylinders of about half-micron diameter and lengths of tens to hundreds of microns.
- the cylinders are coated with metal to render them conductive by an electroless process.
- the microtubules can be dried to a powder and dispersed into polymer matrices at varying loading densities to form the composition.
- the base lipid cylinders may be filled electrophort-tically with magnetic iron nanoparticulates and then subsequently coated with a conductive species.
- the tubules may also be made from cotton linters, which are cellulose fibers with diameters of about 20 micrometers and lengths of 100 to 500 micrometers.
- the tubes may be filled with antioxidant material to inhibit oxidation of the metal, or with a range of materials to inhibit bacterial growth, or may contain fungicides or mildewcides to enhance the performance of the interior coating and to aid in the control of fungus or mold that may be toxic to occupants.
- the coating may be formed from either an acrylic or urethane polymer latex or combinations thereof.
- suitable latex polymers include, but are not limited to, chitothane polymers (a urethane made in water with a blocked isocyanate) and biodegradable urethane polymers derived from a naturally occurring polysaccharide. The polymer may be degradable by enzymatic means.
- Suitable solvents include, but are not limited to, water, one or more alcohols, and glycol.
- a surfactant may also be present.
- the composition may be formulated so that the percentage of the conductive material ranges between 0.5 and 25% by weight of the nonvolatile components of the latex paint base.
- the composition solids may be in the range of 25-60%, prior to dilution for spraying.
- the coatffig 1 ma ⁇ y'''hav i e :;; tlie rt a3v'anf ⁇ g ⁇ ha 'tKe metallic microcylinders are lighter than solid metallic powders and may form an electoconductive matrix at a lower percent of loading than that required for powders.
- the resulting matrix may exhibit a bulk resistively between 0.5 Ohms and 20,000 Ohms per centimeter as measured 48 hours after reaching a final dry weight.
- the emulsion may be applied by spraying utilizing conventional high pressure spraying, low-pressure high volume spray equipment, or airless spray equipment. Once sprayed on a surface the coating may be over coated with a further layer of the latex emulsion to act as a moisture/chemical barrier to increase the resistance to chemical or oxidative degradation. In addition, the coating may be over coated with conventional interior or exterior surface coating to hide the active coating and for decorative purposes. The ability to apply the coating as a spray makes this means of attenuation easier to retrofit to existing structures than metallic sheeting or screening.
- the latex if chosen correctly, along with the use of a water or alcohol diluents may not cause a strong objectionable odor and thus may be applied in a closed space without undue disruption to the occupants. Because the material may be applied by spray it may be applied to flat planar surfaces or surfaces of complex shapes easily. Thus, it may be adapted to application in a wide range of conditions. A further application would allow the coating to be easily tailored by orientation of the tubules in a strong magnetic field during application. When sprayed to a thickness between 100 microns and 1 mm the coating can yield a broadband attenuation of electromagnetic radiation of at least 40 dB. Fig.
- Example 1 Formation of microcylinders - Microtubules were formed from diacetylenic lipid (1,2 bis(tricosa-10, 12-diynoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine), or DC8,9PC.
- the lipid was dissolved in alcohol at 50°C, water was added, and the temperature was lowered to room temperature.
- the lipid self-assembled itself into microtubules and subsequently precipitated.
- the particles were rinsed and coated with a palladium catalyst and mixed with metal ions and reductants. In contact with the catalyst, the metal ions were reduced to neutral metal on the surface of the microtubules and i ated'the 'srrucW ⁇ layer of metal of several tenths of a micron thickness.
- Example 2 Formation of paint -
- the paint was formed from a mixture of the following ingredients: 5.25 grams of copper microcylinders made by the method of Example 1, 100 mL of 36% solids acrylic-urethane latex copolymer, 200 mL of 2-propanol or water as a diluent, and 1% (w/w) Tween 20 surfactant.
- Example 3 Formation of paint - The paint was formed from a mixture of the following ingredients: 3.31 grams of copper microcylinders made by the method of Example 1, 100 mL of 40% solids urethane latex polymeric solution, and 1% BYK surfactant.
- Example 4 Shielding properties - Fig. 3 shows the results of an absorbance test of a latex/metal coating.
