The Electromagnetic Shielding Effectiveness of a Low-Cost and Transparent Stainless Steel Fiber/Silicone Resin Composite

Abstract

A low-cost and transparent stainless steel fiber (SSF)/silicone resin composite was prepared by blending shortcut SSF with silicone resins. The SSF was homogeneously dispersed in resins at submicrometer scales and formed cross-linking structures. The visible light transmittance (VLT) and shielding effectiveness (SE) of composite in the frequency range of 300 MHz-1.5 GHz were investigated, and the result showed that the VLT was 70%, while the SE was 15-26 dB and the VLT was 67%, while the SE was 27-36 dB at 1.00 wt.% and 1.25 wt.% SSF concentrations, respectively. The result suggested that SSF/silicone resin composite may be useful for electromagnetic interface shielding application, especially when there is a visibility requirement. The shielding mechanism was investigated by quantitatively studying the absorbed and reflected energy to the total SE, and the result revealed that the dominant shielding mechanism of SSF/silicone resin composite was reflection loss.

Soft and Mechanically Robust Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Material in Polypropylene Reinforced by Aligned Steel Fibers and Crystalline Structures

“…Therefore, it is still a great challenge to fabricate SF composites with a flexible structure, mechanical robustness, and good EMI shielding performance. Studies on using SFs for EMI shielding applications are few, ,,, and to the best of our knowledge, none of the studies focused on deformable EMI shielding materials.…”

Improving Electromagnetic Compatibility Performance of Narrowband-Iot Sip Module

“…A shielded metal lid was traditionally used to block EMI radiation from device to device. Furthermore, conformal shielding will be a more effective method to decrease the EMI, because it has a smaller size and a lighter weight than a shielding cover [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. Some novel shielding structures were applied to packages based on conformal shielding technology [20,21].…”

Evaluation of Near-Field Electromagnetic Shielding Effectiveness at Low Frequencies

“…The effectiveness of a shield to block an incident magnetic field depends on the dielectric properties of the material barrier, i.e., the complex, relative permeability (r) and permittivity (εr) Evaluation of near-field electromagnetic shielding effectiveness at low frequencies Yessica Arellano, Andrew Hunt, and Olivier Haas M [18]. It is also influenced by the operating frequency, the location of the field in regards to the wavelength (near or far fields), the continuity of the surface, and the thickness of the shield [19], [20]. Three primary methods have been developed for measurement of complex permeability, namely the transmission/reflection line method, the free space method, and the resonant method [18], [21], [22].…”
