Provided is a protection film including a plurality of layers, including a first carrier layer having a plurality of electrically conductive fibers; a metal layer; and a second carrier layer having a plurality of electrically conductive fibers. Each of the first and second carrier layers has a void volume at least partially filled with a hardenable composition. Also provided is a protection film including a first metal layer, a carrier layer, and a second metal layer, in which the carrier layer is at least partially filled with a hardenable composition.

The present invention is an electrically conductive polymer that is stable with respect to both time and environmental conditions. Most electrically conductive polymers have bulk resistance that varies (increases) over time. The current electrically conductive polymers also vary when they are exposed to harsh environments. The time and environmental variability is attributable to both the type of fiber and the type of coating used. The present invention uses stainless steel fibers that have an outer most coating that is one of tin, tin-lead, tin-silver, tin-palladium, tin-silver-palladium, and silver-palladium. The coating comprises 5%-40%, by weight, of the coating fiber. The coated fiber comprises 25%-35%, by weight, of the electrically conductive polymer. The bulk polymer is at least one of polypropylene (“PP”), polycarbonate (“PC”), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (“ABS”), polyethylene (“PE”), polyether ether ketone (“PEEK”), and polyethylene terephthalate (“PET”).

A reinforcing clinical wrap is provided with integral thermal management. The clinical wrap includes a fluid circuit for a heat transfer medium to circulate between a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. A shape conforming medium is disposed within a portion of the clinical wrap providing selective reinforcement support of the portion of the clinical wrap to conform to a surface of a patient. Non-limiting examples of the shape conforming medium may include a magnetorheological elastomer, a magnetorheological elastomer, a magnetorheological foam, a UV curable resin, and a phase change material.

A composition and method for spray-applying a two-part, self-setting composition containing a dopant that provides a hazard shielding component and is particularly adapted for delivering the components of the composition at a temperature that promotes their spray application as well as a self-setting reaction. The method includes selecting a self-setting compound that is adapted for curing in place once applied, the self-setting compound including at least one dopant material; and applying the compound to a hazard to be encapsulated such as a radiological, lead, asbestos, or PCB. Alternately, a self-curing compound includes a multi-part compound which, upon a mixing of the parts, chemically reacts and cures, and at least one dopant material dispersed into at least one of the parts, wherein the dopant material is selected for providing radiation shielding upon application of the compound.
