ABSTRACT:
Electrically conductive films comprising a flexible support, an extensible metal or metal alloy layer, and a crosslinked polymeric protective layer have at least one permanently deformed curved region. The films can be light transmissive and can have regions of compound curvature, and the metal or metal alloy layer can be substantially continuous. The films have reduced susceptibility to fracture or corrosion compared to commercially available electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding films.
