Abstract:
1. An enclosure for at least partially shielding an at least partially enclosed volume from electromagnetic interference, the enclosure comprising: at least two sections of electrically conductive carbon foam interconnected by an electrically conductive carbon char that is substantially electrically continuous with the carbon foam of the at least two sections, wherein the at least two sections of electrically conductive carbon foam define an at least partially enclosed volume, and wherein the at least two section of electrically conductive carbon foam are bonded together by the electrically conductive carbon char that is electrically continuous between the electrically conductive carbon foam sections, and wherein the electrically conductive carbon char is derived from the carbonization of a carbonizing binder bonding the carbon foam sections of the enclosure such that the carbonization of the carbonizing binder results in the electrically conductive carbon char that is electrically continuous between the electrically conductive carbon foam sections.
