Abstract
A dimensionally recoverable polymeric article for enclosing at least part of an elongate object such as a cable or connector has a surface at least part of which has an electrically conductive layer, preferably a metal layer, adhering thereto to provide a screen against electromagnetic interference. The surface of the article carrying the layer is profiled in the form of a number of grooves that extend substantially perpendicularly to the direction of recovery of the article to allow the article to recover with substantially no change in dimension of the surface in the direction of recovery.
