Abstract
A cable having a conducting member made from a nanostructure-based material, and a shielding layer made of nanostructure-based material. The shielding layer can be circumferentially situated about the conducting member so as to enhance conductivity along the conducting member. A coupling mechanism may be situated between the shielding layer and the conducting member so as to secure the shielding layer in its position on the conducting member. A method of making the cable is also disclosed.
Claims19
A cable comprising:
- a conducting member defined by one or more yarns, each yarn extending an entire length of the cable and defined by a plurality of nanotubes continuously intertwined along the entire length of the yarn;
- a shielding layer made of nanostructure-based material and circumferentially situated about the conducting member so as to enhance conductivity along the conducting member;
- and
- a coupling mechanism made from a pyrolized glassy carbon material situated between the shielding layer and the conducting member so as to secure the shielding layer in its position about the conducting member, and to allow for adhesion and minimize delamination between the shielding layer and the conducting member.
