Herein, we presented electromagnetic interference shielding characteristics of NiFe2O4 nanoparticles—in-situ thermally-reduced graphene oxide (RGO)—polypropylene nanocomposites with the variation of reduced graphene oxide content. The structural, morphological, magnetic, and electromagnetic parameters and mechanical characteristics of fabricated nanocomposites were investigated and studied in detail. The controllable composition of NiFe2O4-RGO-Polypropylene nanocomposites exhibited electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness (SE) with a value of 29.4 dB at a thickness of 2 mm. The enhanced EMI shielding properties of nanocomposites with the increase of RGO content could be assigned to enhanced attenuation ability, high conductivity, dipole and interfacial polarization, eddy current loss, and natural resonance. The fabricated lightweight NiFe2O4-RGO-Polypropylene nanocomposites have potential as a high performance electromagnetic interference shielding nanocomposite.
In this work, nickel ferrite (NiFe2O4) nanoparticles
were synthesized by dextrin from corn-mediated sol–gel combustion
method and were annealed at 600, 800, and 1000 °C. The structural
and physical characteristics of prepared nanoparticles were studied
in detail. The average crystallite size was 20.6, 34.5, and 68.6 nm
for NiFe2O4 nanoparticles annealed at 600 °C
(NFD@600), 800 °C (NFD@800), and 1000 °C (NFD@1000), respectively.
The electromagnetic interference shielding performance of prepared
nanocomposites of NiFe2O4 nanoparticles (NFD@600
or NFD@800 or NFD@1000) in polypropylene (PP) matrix engineered with
reduced graphene oxide (rGO) have been investigated; the results indicated
that the prepared nanocomposites consisted of smaller-sized nickel
ferrite nanoparticles exhibited excellent electromagnetic interference
(EMI) shielding characteristics. The total EMI shielding effectiveness
(SET) for the prepared nanocomposites have been noticed
to be 45.56, 36.43, and 35.71 dB for NFD@600-rGO-PP, NFD@800-rGO-PP,
and NFD@1000-rGO-PP nanocomposites, respectively, at the thickness
of 2 mm in microwave X-band range (8.2–12.4 GHz). The evaluated
values of specific EMI shielding effectiveness (SSE) were 38.81, 32.79,
and 31.73 dB·cm3/g, and the absolute EMI shielding
effectiveness (SSE/t) values were 388.1, 327.9, and 317.3 dB·cm2/g for NFD@600-rGO-PP, NFD@800-rGO-PP, and NFD@1000-rGO-PP,
respectively. The prepared lightweight and flexible sheets can be
considered useful nanocomposites against electromagnetic radiation
pollution.

The development of flexible, lightweight, and thin high-performance electromagnetic interference shielding materials is urgently needed for the protection of humans, the environment, and electronic devices against electromagnetic radiation. To achieve this, the spinel ferrite nanoparticles CoFe 2 O 4 (CZ1), Co 0.67 Zn 0.33 Fe 2 O 4 (CZ2), and Co 0.33 Zn 0.67 Fe 2 O 4 (CZ3) were prepared by the sonochemical synthesis method. Further, these prepared spinel ferrite nanoparticles and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) were embedded in a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) matrix. The maximum electromagnetic interference (EMI) total shielding effectiveness (SE T ) values in the frequency range 8.2− 12.4 GHz of these nanocomposites with a thickness of only 0.8 mm were 48.3, 61.8, and 67.8 dB for CZ1-rGO-TPU, CZ2-rGO-TPU, and CZ3-rGO-TPU, respectively. The high-performance electromagnetic interference shielding characteristics of the CZ3-rGO-TPU nanocomposite stem from dipole and interfacial polarization, conduction loss, multiple scattering, eddy current effect, natural resonance, high attenuation constant, and impedance matching. The optimized CZ3-rGO-TPU nanocomposite can be a potential candidate as a lightweight, flexible, thin, and high-performance electromagnetic interference shielding material.
