New Conductive Fiber Announced by Syscom Advanced Materials

Liberator™ fiber, Syscom Advanced Materials novel new conductive metal clad fiber utilizing Kuraray’s Vectran™ fiber, gives a freedom to design outside the constraints of traditional wires. Liberator™ fiber uses a flexible, high-strength, Vectran® fiber core with a conductive metal outer layer. The material designed for use as a part of shielding braid, as a bare wire, or can be coated with insulation material.

Techtextile:North America Symposium Presentation

Syscom Advanced Materials will give a presentation on "Advanced Metal Clad Fibers; Meeting Today’s Demanding Design Requirements." at the Techtextile:North America Symposium.  The presenation will focus on as electrical systems become more complex, traditional wire is less and less compatible with new engineering design requirements.  Copper and other common electrical conductors are heavy, expensive, and breakable.  A conductive metal-clad fiber, a conductive strand formed by adding a metalized coating to polymer fibers, provides a high strength lightweight and flexible alternative to metal wires. The presenation will be given by Jeff Martin, Business Development Manager.
