Abstract
A coaxial cable (10) includes at least one conducting wire (110), at least one insulting layer (120) coating a respective conducting wire, at least one shielding layer (130) surrounding the at least one insulting layer, and a single sheath (140) wrapping the at least one shielding layer. The shielding layer includes a polymer material (134) and a plurality of carbon nanotubes (132) embedded in the polymer material. The coaxial cable is, advantageously, an electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield cable.
Claims8
A coaxial cable comprising:
- at least one conducting wire, the conducting wire consisting of a carbon nanotube bundle, the carbon nanotube bundle being a carbon nanotube chain connected by van der Waals attractive forces between ends of adjacent carbon nanotubes:
- at least one insulting layer, each insulating layer being respectively coated on a corresponding conducting wire;
- at least one shielding layer surrounding the at least one insulting layer, each shielding layer comprising a polymer material and a plurality of carbon nanotubes embedded in the polymer material;
- and
- a sheath wrapping the at least one shielding layer.
