The recent development in telecommunication technology has led electromagnetic interference (EMI) to a serious threat to both electronic devices and living beings. In this work, we designed a highly efficient EMI shielding material by taking advantage of both carbonaceous hybrid filler and double percolation phenomenon. Here, a flexible, lightweight microwave absorbing conductive polymer composite was fabricated by employing poly (ethylene‐co‐methyl acrylate) and ethylene octene copolymer (EMA/EOC) binary blend as the matrix and multiwall carbon nanotube carbon black (MWCNT/CB) hybrid filler as the conductive moiety. We investigated the effect of MWCNT content in the hybrid composite on mechanical, thermomechanical, electrical, and shielding efficiency. A total EMI shielding efficiency of −37.4 dB in the X band region was attained with 20 wt% hybrid filler containing 50 wt% MWCNT along with promising mechanical properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
