Preparation, Properties and Applicability of Electro-conductive Ethylene-vinyl alcohol Copolymer Nanocomposites

Vessels operating in the following sea area consist of series of electrical cables and equipment, which are responsible for running their machinery systems. Shipbuilding trend of fuel efficiency and cost reduction has a certain degree of overlap with the regulatory trend of carbon dioxide reduction. Currently used shipboard cables cannot fulfill these requirements because of the heavy nature of cable metallic shield and armor. This study is aimed at developing lightweight shielding material for Arctic shipboard cable, which is one bottleneck restricting the development of lightweight cables.
