Direct electrodeposition of nickel and poly(pyrrole) onto carbon impregnated nonwoven polyesters produces conductive tapes suitable for electromagnetic shielding. The use of a partly immersed cylindrical horizontal revolving electrode (PICHRE) permits the production of these tapes on a continuous basis. Conductivity vs. strain characteristics, shielding efficiency, surface transfer impedance, and mechanical properties are described.
