Presented at TechConnect World's Nanotech Conference & Expo on May 14, 2013. S. Harvey, T. Shah, P. Dutton, J. Morber Lockheed Martin, United States Summary: Applied NanoStructured Solutions, LLC (ANS) has developed a technology to continuously grow and infuse Carbon Nanostructures (CNS) directly on fiber substrates. ANS has designed and constructed a modular, scalable manufacturing line and demonstrated infusion onto carbon, glass, ceramic, and aramid fibers, and on metals. This patented method harnesses the advantageous properties of CNS at a cost-effective and commercially viable scale. ANS working with TE Connectivity's (TE) Advanced Development Group in Menlo Park California has begun to insert a variety of product forms, using this technology, into Lockheed Martin platforms as well other OEM's platforms, defense as well as commercial. The first form factor built and tested was braided cable shielding. TE manufactured prototype CNS based cables have demonstrated weight savings with increased performance. These prototypes have been flown on a Lockheed Martin platform and meet EMP and Lightning requirements for flight safety.

Transfer Impedance is a shield level
test, not a cable test and is independent
of cable geometry and is very repeatable
Shielding Effectiveness Testing can be
impacted by the method of energy
input, physical placement in the chamber
and chamber physics, the cable’s
assembly and geometry. Making
repeatability challenging

Copper is dominate until CNS resistivity (Impedance/optical coverage) is lower.
The relatively small amount of copper has very poor optical coverage , thus the
rise in resistivity as frequency increases until it matches that of the CNS.
At that point a majority of the energy starts to flow through the CNS forest.
Note the Tube Behavior is still present

12. LM Flight Cables
Before we try to answer why, we are going to pull in
another part of the story.
ANS was asked to provide a quick turn cable solution
for an internal Lockheed Martin customer whose goal
was to demonstrate a verity of light weight flight
technologies.
We asked TE Connectivity to help meet our internal
customer’s needs.

13. Quick Turn Project for a Demonstration

 Replace 3 Single Shielded Cables with CNS Cables
 Minimum of 10%Total Weight Savings at the Cable
Level
 Shall Meet Flight Safety Requirements
 Stretch Goal Minimize Assembly Issues
TE Connectivity Built the Cables
 Dual Silver Copper/CNS Shield Braid
 Total Machine time was less than 6 hours including
Setup
 Standard Manufacturing Processes Were Used
LM Internal Customer Assembled and
Installed
 Met or Exceeded Assembly Level Weight Goals
 10% to 20% Reduction
 Drop in Replacement Using Standard Cable Assembly
Techniques (Very Minor Trimming Excess Step Added)

When First Built, the Full Copper Braid CNS Cables End Configurations Were in Series as Shown Above
Left. This was Done Experimentally to Ensure Current Went Through the CNS, Knowing it Would
Negatively Impact DC Resistance
The Ends Were Later Configured in Parallel as Shown Above Right. This Reduced DC Resistance
Significantly, the Results of That Testing Were Used in the Earlier Slides

Analytical Basis Provides Fast Performance Estimation

18. ZtEstimator:
Optimize Mode
• Enter Zt targets & parameter
space
• ZtEstimator finds all shields
that meet targets
• Sort by weight, DC
resistance, or any other
criteria
• Double-click any shield to
plot its Zt
• Export individual shield or
entire chart to Excel

19. Double or Hybrid Shields
• One Shield
• Double or Hybrid Shield Performance
 Dependent on the performance of each shield: Zt1, Zt2
 Dependent on the loss in each shield: Zs1, Zs2
 Dependent upon interaction between shields: Zinteraction

20. Real-World Experimental Data
Same Behavior Observed in Real World and Simulations

21. What Does All This Mean?
ANS Can Predict at What Frequency “Tube
Behavior” Starts
 Verifiable by Running STI on the CNS Shielding
Component Alone
ZTEstimator Can be Used to Find the “Best
Fit” for Copper and CNS Components of the
Shield
 Any Metal Could be Used
Example
 200 Tex CNS Braid Starts Dropping at ~40MHz
 The Copper Outer Braid is Tailored to Start the “20Log”
Rise at 50MHz
 The End Cable Transfer Impedance Behavior Would Stay
Flat Then Start Dropping at 40MHz Instead of Rising at
50MHz
21
CNS Cable Shielding:
Synergy
Predictable Shield Behavior!!!
(Reference Vance, 1978 Wiley)

22. So What’s Next?
IEEE 1394 Cable
Military 1394 is a Small Cable with an
Excellent Bend Radius and Shielding
Performance
 Incumbent offerings sacrifice weight to gain the tight bend
radius by using double braid shield vs. a foil.
Proof of Concept Complete
 The First Iteration Saved 7% to 8% in Total Cable Weight
 Minimum Target of 10% in Total Weight Savings
 20% should be attainable
 Example: 4000 feet of cable would weigh ~80lbs vs.
Current ~100lbs
Copper Outer Braid Allows The Use
Traditional Connector Techniques
Next Steps
 Optimize weave for weight and performance
 Electrical testing.
 Including Eye Pattern & STI
 Repeat Optimize/Test as needed
 Environmental risk mitigation testing.
 Qualification

23. CNS Non Woven Hybrid (NWH)
Complementing the Braided Product LM ANS
developed a low cost, extremely light, shielding
material.
The NWH is suitable for use in a cable tape wrap,
enclosure appliqué, or infrastructure hardening
against EMI intrusion

24. Reutilization of Capital Equipment
 Same Manufacturing Equipment Used to Make Material for Polymer

LM Internal Customers Expressed a Need
 Multiple LM programs Have Weight Challenges
 LM Cooperate Initiated an “Across the Board” Look at Light Weight

 ANS Quickly Developed a 4” Prototype (at Right) and Scaled to a
Lager Size
 Working With Technical Fibre Products (TFP) To Scale Process Further

We wanted to know how much the NWH “leaked” energy through the seams.
So we started with two full sheets and slowly cut them back until there was only a 2% overlap
We found that the there was no leakage at all. If there had been we would have seen an SE
