Woodhead Publishing Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Materials: Graphene-Based Composites and Beyond (Woodhead Publishing Series in Electronic and Optical Materials)

Please note this is an Open Access title available via Science Direct. Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Materials: Graphene-Based Composites and Beyond offers a thorough, systematic overview of the advances made in research on composites-based materials for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding during the past several decades. The use of smartphones, wearable electronics, wi-fi, microwaves, and other smart devices is ubiquitous in modern life. All of these electronics emit electromagnetic waves (EMWs) that create electromagnetic pollution. EMWs can cause serious issues such as electromagnetic radiation, electromagnetic interference (EMI), and information leakage. There is an urgent need for inexpensive, environmentally friendly materials that can mitigate the effects of EMI, and this book provides a through investigation of the shielding capabilities of graphene and other novel nanomaterials. The current state of materials used in EMI shielding is discussed, together with synthesis and fabrication methods, relevant mechanisms, measurements, measuring devices, calculations, physicochemical properties, and applications. The book provides detailed analysis of carbon-based nanomaterials and their composites, including materials fabrication, characterization, and advanced application in EMI shielding. The beneficial effects of these new shielding materials will be relevant in the fields of telecommunications, the electronics industry, the automotive industry, ecology, healthcare, medicine, security, and military applications. Explores the nature, behavior, characteristics, and spectra of EMWs, as well as the consequences and potential health impacts of long-term exposure to this radiation Covers in detail the different low-cost strategies for preparation of new nanomaterials and composites based on graphene oxide and silver nanowires as a protective barrier for EMWs Highlights materials with excellent potential for use in wearable or foldable electronic devices that demand lightweight, highly flexible, and thermally conductive EMI shielding
