Abstract:Electromagnetic interference shielding composite materials can be designed with properties that are tailored for specific applications. We have explored the magnetic properties of Ni-coated carbon fibers embedded in a polymer matrix through an extrusion process. This method can produce large, pliable flat sheets, which can be easily bent and shaped. Microscopy imaging shows that the extrusion process preferentially orders most of the fibers with their long axis along the extrusion direction. The measured sampl… Show more
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.
