Novel carbon additive for high performance EMI shielding materials

Abstract

A novel carbon additive, carbon nanostructure (CNS), is introduced as an effective additive for EMI shielding plastic and silicone compounds. Compounds containing CNS have higher EMI shielding efficiency than compounds containing other carbon-based additives. CNS can also enable better performance/processing balance of compounds compared to traditional metal-based EMI shielding additives.
