Abstract:
The evolution of advanced communications systems and other electro-electronic
gadgets has led to a type of electromagnetic pollution that has an impact on both the
functionality of other equipment and people's health. There is a growing need for
effective shielding materials to control EMI and related issues. A variety of composite
materials have been developed using various combinations of dissimilar elements
because it is widely known that single configuration cannot achieve necessary
materials EMI-shielding (EMI-S) efficacy. The most popular materials having EMI
shielding materials are made of metals with having inherent flaws including being
heavy, more prone to corrosion, expensive, complex to produce, etc. Shields with to
overcome these constraints, metal-based structure was modified using a variety of
structural types and other materials. Conducting polymer-based composites have
distinguished themselves from other classes of materials that form composite
produced as Shielding-EMI components due to unique characteristics such as lower
weight, environmental stability, long-life, durability, and minimal corrosive tenability.
Here, in this work, Conducting Filler-Based Elastomer Composites synthesized and
characterized by melt mixing method for electromagnetic shielding applications. The
surface modification confirmed by different characterization techniques i.e., Fourier-
transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning
Electron Microscopy (SEM). For the mechanical and EMI Shielding applications
composites material characterized by Universal testing machines (UTMs) that test
mechanical properties such as tensile, flexural, compressive and shear.
Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) analysis for the measurement of thermal stability
of material electrical conductance measurement and use of Vector Network Analyzer
by Rhode and Shwarz for EMI Shielding.
