Electromagnetically shielded wallpaper
The electromagnetic shielding of an enclosable building structure is provided by applying a shielding wallcovering to at least a portion of building structure. The shielding wall covering is wallpaper comprising a metal-coated substrate core and resin. To connect the shielded wallpaper to the building structure a layer of the resin or an adhesive layer may be used.
1. An electromagnetically shielding wallpaper for connection to a building structure having a plurality of walls connected to define an enclosed volume to provide electromagnetic shielding of the building structure, the electromagnetically shielding wallpaper comprising:
a metal-CVD (chemical vapor deposition) coated substrate core; and
a resin impregnating the metal-CVD coated substrate core, the resin forming a combination comprising a resin-impregnated portion, an obverse layer and a reverse layer, the metal-CVD coated substrate core being resin impregnated and disposed between the obverse layer and the reverse layer.
2. The electromagnetically shielding wallpaper of claim 1 , wherein the resin is a sealing resin that seals the metal-CVD coated substrate core from corrosion and the combination is vapor impermeable.
3. The electromagnetically shielding wallpaper of claim 1 , wherein the metal-CVD coated substrate core comprises a Ni-CVD coated substrate core.
4. The electromagnetically shielding wallpaper of claim 1 , wherein the metal-CVD coated substrate core comprises a nonwoven substrate.
5. The electromagnetically shielding wallpaper of claim 4 , wherein the nonwoven substrate is an organic nonwoven substrate.
6. The electromagnetically shielding wallpaper of claim 5 , wherein the organic nonwoven substrate comprises cellulose.
7. The electromagnetically shielding wallpaper of claim 1 , further comprising an adhesive layer connected to the reverse layer.
8. The electromagnetically shielding wallpaper of claim 7 , wherein the adhesive layer comprises at least one adhesive selected from the group consisting of wallpaper paste, an adhesive film, and a resinous penetrating adhesive.
9. The electromagnetically shielding wallpaper of claim 1 , wherein the shielded wallpaper is formed as a plurality of sheets with each sheet having an edge and defining a shielded area where connected to the building structure, the edge of a first sheet of shielded wallpaper disposed to overlap the edge of a second sheet of shielded wallpaper whereby shielding is continuous over the combined shielded area of the first sheet and the second sheet.
10. The electromagnetically shielding wallpaper of claim 1 , further comprising a shielded strip and wherein the shielded wallpaper is formed as a plurality of sheets with each sheet having an edge and defining a shielded area where connected to the building structure, the edge of a first sheet of shielded wallpaper disposed to abut the edge of a second sheet of shielded wallpaper, the shielded strip disposed to overlay and cover the abutting edges of the first sheet and the second sheet whereby shielding is continuous over the combined shielded area of the first sheet and the second sheet.
11. The electromagnetically shielding wallpaper of claim 1 , wherein the shielded wallpaper is retrofit to an existing building structure.
12. The electromagnetically shielding wallpaper of claim 1 , wherein the metal-CVD coated substrate core comprises a woven substrate.
13. The electromagnetically shielding wallpaper of claim 12 , wherein the metal-CVD coated substrate core comprises a Ni-CVD coated woven substrate.
14. The electromagnetically shielding wallpaper of claim 13 , wherein the woven substrate is an organic woven substrate.
15. An electromagnetically shielding wallpaper for connection to a building structure having a plurality of walls connected to define an enclosed volume to provide electromagnetic shielding of the building structure, the electromagnetically shielding wallpaper comprising:
a metal-CVD coated substrate core, the metal-CVD coated substrate core comprising a nonwoven material and nickel as a metal in the metal-CVD coated substrate core; and
a resin impregnating the metal-CVD coated substrate core, the resin forming a combination comprising a resin-impregnated portion, an obverse layer and a reverse layer, the metal-CVD coated substrate core being resin impregnated and disposed between the obverse layer and the reverse layer.
16. The electromagnetically shielding wallpaper of claim 15 , wherein the shielded wallpaper is retrofit to an existing building structure.
17. The electromagnetically shielding wallpaper of claim 15 , wherein the reverse layer adheres the shielded wallpaper to the shielded building structure.
18. The electromagnetically shielding wallpaper of claim 15 , further comprising an adhesive layer connected to the reverse layer of resin.
19. The electromagnetically shielding wallpaper of claim 18 , wherein the adhesive layer comprises at least one adhesive selected from the group consisting of wallpaper paste, an adhesive film, and a resinous penetrating adhesive.
20. The electromagnetically shielding wallpaper of claim 15 , wherein the resin is a sealing resin that seals the metal-CVD coated substrate core from corrosion.
21. The electromagnetically shielding wallpaper of claim 1 , wherein the reverse layer of the electromagnetically shielding wallpaper connects the electromagnetically shielding wallpaper to the building structure.
