Carbon-Based Nanocomposites for Electromagnetic Shielding
摘要
With the modernization and rapid development of wireless technology, telecommunication and various electromagnetic devices have been used extensively and evolved significant increase in electromagnetic (EM) radiation. These EM radiations affect the normal functioning and reliability of individual electronic devices by interfering with its performances. Besides these, it has an adverse effect on living beings. Several shielding materials have been developed to resolve the electromagnetic interference (EMI). Traditional shielding materials, such as metals while effective, often suffer from limitations like weight, corrosion, and costCarbon nanocomposites. Carbon nanocompositesNanocomposites, on the other hand, offer a compelling alternative due to their lightweight, corrosion resistance, and tunable electrical and magneticMagnetic properties. In the present chapter, we have studied carbon-based nanocompositesCarbon-based nanocomposites for EMI shielding, their potential to revolutionize shielding materials due to their unique properties and versatility. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the various types of carbon nanomaterialsCarbon Nanomaterials (CNM) used in nanocompositesNanocomposites, including carbon nanotubes, graphene, and carbon fibers. Each of these materials brings distinct advantages in terms of electrical conductivity, mechanical strengthMechanical strength, and thermalThermal stability. Moreover, the chapter examines the fundamental mechanisms behind electromagnetic shielding, focusing on absorption, reflection, and multiple internal reflections of EM waves. The intrinsic electrical conductivity and dielectric properties of carbon nanomaterialsCarbon Nanomaterials (CNM) are critical factors that enhance these shielding mechanisms. Future research directions are suggested focusing on enhancing the shielding effectiveness, exploring various carbon-based nanocompositesCarbon-based nanocomposites, and expanding the range of applications. The chapter serves as a valuable resource for researchers and industry professionals aiming to develop and implement advanced carbon-based EMI shielding materials.
