Metal RubberTM is a highly electrically conductive and highly flexible elastomer. It can be mechanically strained to greater than 1000 percent of its original dimensions while remaining electrically conductive. As Metal Rubber can carry data and electrical power and is environmentally rugged, it opens up a new world of applications requiring robust, flexible and stretchable electrical conductors in the aerospace/defense, electronics and bioengineering markets.
TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION
Metal Rubber is made through a modified molecular-level self-assembly production process using precursors NanoSonic produces in-house. Materials are manufactured in a variety of sizes and geometries.
