Steve,
I understand much work was done, as I should caution there are a
number of patents for this process out there. It is a good idea, it
does work, but please notify your intellectual properties department
and / or your polymer supplier prior to implementation. Some suppliers
are working on or have completed licensing agreements.
Regards,

Is anyone out there investigating or using a conductive Polymer Thick
Film layer on the outside of the board to reduce EMI. Using this PTF
allows you to possibly go from a 4 layer board with internal ground
planes to a 2 layer board. CHEAPER!!!!!!!!

I believe you should tie the external ground plane at one point only.
The return current path often completes a loop antenna - a highly directional
radiation source - and if, by connecting the components to the outer shield,
you make the outer plane a part of the current return path you have turned
your shield into a radiation source.
