PolyCond: electromagnetic shielding with conducting polymers

Conducting polymers in microelectronics

Conjugated polymers in the nondoped and doped conducting state have an array of potential applications in the microelectronics industry. Conducting polymers are effective discharge layers as well as conducting resists in electron beam lithography, find applications in metallization (electrolytic and electroless) of plated through-holes for printed circuit board technology, provide excellent ele...

Microwave Absorption and EMI Shielding Behavior of Nanocomposites Based on Intrinsically Conducting Polymers, Graphene and Carbon Nanotubes

Trapping of microwave radiation in hollow polypyrrole microsphere through enhanced internal reflection: A novel approach

In present work, spherical core (polystyrene, PS)/shell (polypyrrole, PPy) has been synthesized via in situ chemical oxidative copolymerization of pyrrole (Py) on the surface of sulfonated PS microsphere followed by the formation of hollow polypyrrole (HPPy) shell by dissolving PS inner core in THF. Thereafter, we first time established that such fabricated novel art of morphology acts as a con...

Optimization of Layer Thickness to Yield Predetermined Shielding Performance of Multilayer Conductor Electromagnetic Shield

Electromagnetic shield made up of single conductor layer of chosen thickness and conducting material can be designed to achieve required shielding performance . This single conductor layer electromagnetic shield would be bulky and occupy more volume when the size of the electronic circuit is shrinking with the advent of microelectronic technologies. In order to optimize the thickness of the ele...

Characteristics of Electromagnetic Coupling with A Wire Through Enclosure

Electromagnetic interference can be easily coupled into metallic shielding enclosure that is penetrated with a conducting wire, which having a harmful effect on electrical and electronic devices. To sudy the characteristics, Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) is applied in both frequency and time domain for modeling the coupling of an incident electromagnetic pulse (EMP) with a conducting wir...
