Freestanding Nanocomposite Films for enhanced EMI Shielding Applications

Abstract

The electronic industry has grown very rapidly in the last two decades. There has been a massive demand for effective solutions for electromagnetic radiation-related issues. All the electronic devices are susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) phenomena, and EMI shielding is necessary to mitigate this issue and ensure the safety and efficiency of electronic components. This research work focuses on understanding material requirements for EMI shielding, getting a comprehensive overview of existing EMI shielding materials, giving a state-of-the-art review on novel EMI shielding materials, and outlining research to tackle the issues with experimental methodology with preliminary results. A detailed review of EMI shielding efficiency (EMI SE), methods, and mechanisms is presented. Different materials were proposed and investigated for EMI shielding applications. Carbon nanotube (CNT)- based composites and MXenes are promising materials in the field of EMI shielding applications at present. In this research work, we propose 3 different experimental approaches including fabrication and characterization of novel materials with analysis of the EMI shielding performance of these materials.
