Abstract
The growing use of electronic communication systems has intensified electromagnetic pollution, driving the development of advanced EMI shielding materials. In this work, a novel quaternary polymer–ceramic nanocomposite was synthesized via a simple solvent casting method to create a thin, lightweight, and flexible EMI shielding film. Rietveld refinement confirmed the formation of single-phase nanomaterials. Mechanical tests showed high strength and flexibility. The dielectric constant increased with PPy (polypyrrole) content, enhancing electromagnetic radiation absorption. The composite with 16 wt% PPy achieved a maximum shielding effectiveness of 21.87 dB, with 16.73 dB from absorption and 5.13 dB from reflection. A high specific shielding effectiveness of 2858 dB·g−1·cm2 was also recorded, surpassing many previously reported systems. These properties make the material highly suitable for use in flexible electronics, EMI shielding components, and advanced engineering fields like aerospace and automotive, where lightweight and effective shielding is crucial.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies and reviews related to the electronic, electrochemical, ionic, magnetic, optical, and biosensing properties of solid state materials in bulk, thin film and particulate forms. Papers dealing with synthesis, processing, characterization, structure, physical properties and computational aspects of nano-crystalline, crystalline, amorphous and glassy forms of ceramics, semiconductors, layered insertion compounds, low-dimensional compounds and systems, fast-ion conductors, polymers and dielectrics are viewed as suitable for publication. Articles focused on nano-structured aspects of these advanced solid-state materials will also be considered suitable.
