Recent advances in electromagnetic interference shielding properties of carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer composites—a topical review

Abstract Using carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding has become a rapidly emerging field. This state-of-the-art review summarises all the recent research advancements in field of properties CFRP composites, with exclusive attention paid to experimental work. It focuses on (1) important mechanisms and physical phenomena process anisotropic carbon-fibre (2) performance materials as reported literature, performance-affecting parameters. The key which directly influence are identified, most critical being concentration along length discontinuous carbon-fibre-filled polymers lay-up continuous composites. effect adding conductive inclusions such metal or carbon nanotubes is also reviewed. emphasised that processing conditions strongly linked composite. first review, covers detailed analysis factors influencing these clear distinction between reinforcement. shown make good candidate an EMI enclosure material.
