Abstract
An electromagnetic shielding element comprising a moldable elastomer containing a particulate conductive filler and at least one layer of knitted wire mesh in said elastomer. The filler is preferably a precious metal, especially silver, and its preferred form is as a coating on copper or glass. The element may be composed of a plurality of layers of knitted mesh embedded in the elastomer and the directions of extension of the loops in the layers are at angles to one another. The element is useful as a combination gasket and electromagnetic shield.
