EMI shielding effects of carbon nanotube cellulose nanocomposite

Electromagnetic interference shielding is an important aspect of modern communication and computer technology. Carbon nanotube cellulose nanocomposite (CNTCNC) provides a novel material as an alternative to traditional metal-based shields for EMI shielding. Stratified structures containing CNTCNC layers combined with existing commercial lossy materials (like ferrite sheets) form effective EMI shields without lowering the signal integrity performance. Significant improvement in shielding effectiveness in stacked CNTCNC layers is noteworthy. CNTCNC is essentially like paper when it comes to flexibility and hence it can be easily conformed to the mechanical structure of the device in need of s…
