Tethers Unlimited

Seeking conductive fibers that could provide lightweight alternatives to heavy copper wiring in a variety of settings, including aerospace, where weight is always a chief concern, NASA partnered with a high-tech textile company that was already experimenting in this field, Syscom Technology, Inc., of Columbus, Ohio. Through a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract that was geared toward developing the ability to manufacture electrically conductive fibers, Syscom was able to develop methods for large scale, low-cost manufacturing of AmberStrand, its electrically conductive, low-weight, strong-yet-flexible hybrid metal-polymer yarn. Today, the hybrid metal-polymer wire is replacing signal wiring in several NASA applications, as well as being considered for use as space tethers, space antennas, for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, and for a plethora of applications where lightweight wiring is essential. It is available for use in any application, like aerospace, where lighter weights are essential, and the company is also exploring uses that involve creating electrically conductive "smart" garments.
