Abstract
Conductive coatings have been applied to plastic substrates to protect electronic devices against electromagnetic interference. A model, based on the transmission line and plane wave theory, is developed to analyze the shielding effectiveness of multilayer metallic thin films. Analyses show that among absorption, reflection, and reβreflection in electromagnetic wave transmission, reflection is dominant, whereas absorption is negligible because of small film thickness. A key indicator of reflection is the thin film's intrinsic impedance characterized by the ratio of conductivity over permeability. Better shielding can be achieved by having the impedance ratio of the adjacent layers higher than 1; i.e., by placing the thin film of higher impedance as the inner layer to the substrate. Without the correct sequence of placement, more layers do not necessarily lead to better shielding. All analytical results are validated by experiments on PC and PP substrates with plasma surface treatment and physical vapor deposition. Β© 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008

## Abstract The timeβdependent irreversible deformation of a thin metal film constrained by a substrate is investigated by a mesoscopic discrete dislocation simulation scheme incorporating information from atomistic studies of dislocation nucleation mechanisms. The simulations take into account dis
In this study, we show that the optical constants of sputter-deposited chromium depend on the argon pressure used for the deposition. Higher argon pressure gives lower extinction coefficients. Sheet resistance measurements show that those materials with lower extinction coefficients also have lower
This article describes the quasistatic analysis of a shielded microstripline with finite metallization thickness penetrating into the anisotropic substrate. A vertical directional mode-matching method, which includes eigenfunctions with inhomogeneous properties for analyzing this structure, has been
**Thin films of organic metals** generally exhibit activated conductivity caused by intergrain conduction barriers. One of the few examples of thin films showing truly metallic character is TTF[Ni(dmit)~2~]~2~. Films electrodeposited on silicon substrates remain metallic down to 12βK in spite of the
