Definitions
- THIS INVENTION relates to materials which have sound absorbing
- Open-cell foamed synthetic plastics material is possibly the most
- the elements are shaped, and/or their density varies, so as
- Carbon or another electrically conductive material excludes emissions of a background nature. Carbon or another electrically conductive material
- the cage is lined with of this material.
- the conductive material creates the multiplicity of electrical flow paths that are required to absorb radio frequency signals Such a material
- the main object of the present invention is to provide a new acoustically
- a subsidiary object is to provide a new acoustically anechoic material
- the method can include the step of dispersing electrically conductive fibres in
- Said fibres are preferably carbon fibres, and can be carbon fibres with a metallic coating
- Bonding can be achieved by means of an adhesive
- acoustically anechoic element which comprises a compressed mass of fibres of a synthetic
- At least the surfaces of the fibres are of heat weldable material
- the mass includes fibres of a higher melting point mixed with fibres of a lower melting point, the lower melting point fibres bonding the higher melting point fibres together.
- fibres are bonded to one another by an adhesive.
- Electrically conductive fibres can be dispersed in the synthetic plastic material
- fibres to obtain an element which absorbs RF signals.
- said fibres are carbon
- fibres which can have a metallic coating.
- Said metallic coating can be of nickel.
- the conductive fibres are evenly dispersed in the plastics fibres but
- Fibres of materials such as polyester are widely available commercially.
- Solid fibres are available as also are hollow fibres. This latter form of fibre is often referred to
- monofilament or coarse spun referred to as monofilament or coarse spun.
- Coarse spun fibres are of composite construction and have a core and a
- the coating melts at
- a monofilament is of unitary construction and is
- thermally insulating sheets form thermally insulating sheets, padding for upholstered furniture etc can be used.
- moulds can be used. These can be heated in an electrical oven at a temperature such that
- the moulds are not damaged but adequate fibre bonding is achieved.
- the mould can be shaped to produce cones, wedges, blocks or panels
- a product comprising a carbon fibre core with a nickel coating which is
- nickel coated carbon fibre has the further
- polyester is available in grades which will melt at temperatures of 130°C
- low melting point fibres can be softened and whilst the high melting point fibres remain
- the adhesive can be heat activated after being sprayed on the fibres.
- the adhesive can be solvent based, the solvent being driven off, or allowed to
