EMI Create films of highly percolated network of conductive Bus compartment enclosure,<br />
nanofillers (nickel nanostr<strong>and</strong> veil, SWNT buckypaper, etc.)<br />
that can both absorb <strong>and</strong> dissipate broadb<strong>and</strong> frequencies<br />
electronic enclosures<br />
Lightning Incorporate conductive nanofillers (nickel nanostr<strong>and</strong>s, CNT, Composite aircraft exterior<br />
Strike etc.) as highly percolated coatings, appliqués, resins, or veils<br />
that can carry large currents <strong>and</strong> have controlled failure modes
