Patent ID: 6876886

Claim:
A magnetically shielded conductor assembly comprised of a conductor disposed within an insulating matrix, nanomagnetic material disposed around said conductor, and nanoelectrical material disposed around said conductor, provided that such nanomagnetic material is not contiguous with said conductor, and further provided that such nanoelectrical material is not contiguous with said conductor, wherein: (a) said conductor has a resistivity of from about 1 to about 100 micro ohm-centimeters, (b) said insulating matrix is comprised of nano-sized particles, wherein at least about 90 weight percent of said particles have a maximum dimension of from about 10 to about 100 nanometers; (c) said insulating matrix has a resistivity of from about 1,000,000,000 to about 10,000,000,000,000 ohm-centimeter; (d) said nanomagnetic material has an average particle size of less than about 100 nanometers; (e) said nanomagnetic material has a saturation magnetization of from about 200 to about 26,000 Gauss and a thickness of less than about 2 microns; (f) said nanoelectrical material has a resisitivity of from about 1.6 to about 100 microohm-centimeters; and (g) said magnetically shielded conductor assembly is flexible, having a bend radius of less than 2 centimeters.
