I love this! A good possibility in preventing people from locating your whereabouts 24/7 or listening in. Anechoic chambers were my peace zone - and this is like peace of mind everywhere you go.
There was a time I used to carry copper tape with me all the time to cover my cards and made a pouch out of it. And i used to stick ferrite beads at the edge of all cables . And once I made loop antennas from old RF cables, connected them to a handheld signal analyzer to detect how much signals that's around me, and I found 400 MHz harmonic jamming my car alarm near a transmission plant. I think this could help detect hidden cameras in hotels or Airbnbs as well, as they typically use RF bands to transmit video signals.
Would be cool to get a signal generator, turn on satellite modulation signals and measure reflections and see how many signals it suppresses (or see what signals you can pick up near you) but it needs a satellite dish to detect. Actually if you have a sign gen and an analyser and some loop antenna, check out your radiation from laptop, your phones at higher frequencies. It's one reason why I stopped using my laptop on the lap - because Cispr tests didn't test high freq harmonics.
This innovation is very cool, the paranoid me appreciates it.

btw, your friend can sell this to people who wear pacemakers as well - it will be a good protection gear against EMI signals. A statement to correct on the above - the regulatory test is up to 1.5GHz (this is standard practice) and it attenuates 70dB which is really good, keeps your harmonics low. However satellite signals are typically 1GHz - 40GHz. So if you want to make sure you are blocking anyone from detecting you or hearing you, you can just test it on your own. Also really love the conductance testing - so much possibility.
Was looking at the test again - the material is conductive, not energy producing - which makes perfect sense. Typically when resistance is measured, you don’t connect it to any power source because the multimeter will apply a small voltage to the resistor and measure the current flowing through it to calculate resistance (V=IR). The metal composition can cover up to 12GHz which is pretty decent. Higher signal will have lower power and requires amplifiers and mixers - hence if the concern is bodily protections then its perfect because it will bounce off.
