With the widespread use of electronic communication devices, ultra-thin, flexible, and high-performance electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials are widely used to prevent radiation pollution. Moreover, graphene-reinforced polymer-based nanocomposites have received increasing attention in the field of EMI shielding because of their excellent electrical properties. In this work, ultrathin and flexible nickel/reduced graphene oxide/cellulose nanofiber (Ni/RGO/CNFs) composite paper was fabricated using a step-by-step vacuum-assisted filtration method. The prepared composite paper with Ni/RGO to CNF ratio of 3:1 and a thickness of 105 µm attained the electrical conductivity of 1664 S/m and 22.6 dB of excellent electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (SE). In addition, the composite paper (2:1) exhibited great mechanical properties, leading to a high tensile strength of 78.4 MPa, 10.3% fracture strain, and no obvious fractures or cracks when the composite paper was folded. Therefore, the Ni/RGO/CNFs composite paper prepared in this study is an effective lightweight shielding material, especially in flexible electronics and wearable devices.

Carbon fabric composite is used in technical applications such as aircrafts in which electromagnetic shielding (electromagnetic interference–shielding effectiveness) is required. Traditionally, metallic coatings or metal plates are used for electromagnetic shielding, however, conductive filler-filled composite is also alternative to metal sheets due to its light weight. In the literatures, there are studies about effect carbon nanotube and graphene oxide flakes on electromagnetic interference; however, there are no studies encountered that search the effect of carbon nanotube/graphene oxide fiber and alignment of graphene oxide fiber on electromagnetic interference. Thus, in this study, fabrication of light-weight carbon fabric/epoxy composite filled with graphene oxide fiber, reduced graphene oxide fiber and multiwalled carbon nanotube and alignment of graphene oxide fiber was studied for the first time for both electromagnetic shielding (electromagnetic interference–shielding effectiveness) and electrical conductivity. It was found that reduced graphene oxide with two layers at the same alignment (0–0) leads to increment in the electromagnetic interference–shielding effectiveness value, while reduced graphene oxide with opposite alignment (0–90) leads to decrease in the electromagnetic interference–shielding effectiveness value. Opposite to literatures for graphene oxide flakes, highly rough surface of graphene oxide fiber and reduced graphene oxide fiber causes a deterioration in electromagnetic interference–shielding effectiveness due to disruptive multiple reflections resulted from highly rough surface of graphene oxide fiber, which causes multiple reflection effect. Multiwalled carbon nanotube generally provides higher electromagnetic interference–shielding effectiveness than graphene-based fiber because it has higher conductivity and has no disruptive effect of crimpy surface as graphene oxide fiber. Multiwalled carbon nanotube loading of 15 wt% results to 32 dB electromagnetic interference–shielding effectiveness, which is considered an adequate and moderate level of shielding for many applications.

A multi-step reduction process was developed to produce reduced graphene oxide (rGO) paper for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. First step reduction was achieved by hydroiodic acid to remove most of the oxygen-containing functional groups, and sodium borohydride was used in the second step reduction to reduce carbonyl group which is the most difficult functional group to remove. In the last step reduction, hydroiodic acid was used as reducing agent again to remove the remaining oxygen-containing functional groups. The results show that this method can greatly improve the conductivity and EMI shielding performance of rGO paper. The resulting rGO paper with a C/O ratio of 19.38 and a thickness of 9.1[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m exhibited high conductivity of 1084[Formula: see text]S/cm and excellent average EMI shielding efficiency of 45.84[Formula: see text]dB in the X-band, better than that reduction by other chemical methods.

In this work, various tunable sized spinel ferrite MnFe2O4 nanoparticles (namely MF20, MF40, MF60 and MF80) with reduced graphene oxide (RGO) were embedded in a polypropylene (PP) matrix. The particle size and structural feature of magnetic filler MnFe2O4 nanoparticles were controlled by sonochemical synthesis time 20 min, 40 min, 60 min and 80 min. As a result, the electromagnetic interference shielding characteristics of developed nanocomposites MF20-RGO-PP, MF40-RGO-PP, MF60-RGO-PP and MF80-RGO-PP were also controlled by tuning of magnetic/dielectric loss. The maximum value of total shielding effectiveness (SET) was 71.3 dB for the MF80-RGO-PP nanocomposite sample with a thickness of 0.5 mm in the frequency range (8.2–12.4 GHz). This lightweight, flexible and thin nanocomposite sheet based on the appropriate size of MnFe2O4 nanoparticles with reduced graphene oxide demonstrates a high-performance advanced nanocomposite for cutting-edge electromagnetic interference shielding application.

Herein, we presented electromagnetic interference shielding characteristics of NiFe2O4 nanoparticles—in-situ thermally-reduced graphene oxide (RGO)—polypropylene nanocomposites with the variation of reduced graphene oxide content. The structural, morphological, magnetic, and electromagnetic parameters and mechanical characteristics of fabricated nanocomposites were investigated and studied in detail. The controllable composition of NiFe2O4-RGO-Polypropylene nanocomposites exhibited electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness (SE) with a value of 29.4 dB at a thickness of 2 mm. The enhanced EMI shielding properties of nanocomposites with the increase of RGO content could be assigned to enhanced attenuation ability, high conductivity, dipole and interfacial polarization, eddy current loss, and natural resonance. The fabricated lightweight NiFe2O4-RGO-Polypropylene nanocomposites have potential as a high performance electromagnetic interference shielding nanocomposite.

The co-precipitation and in situ modified Hummers’ method was used to synthesize Nickel Spinal Ferrites (NiFe) nanoparticles and NiFe coated with Thermally Reduced Graphene Oxide (TRGO) (NiFe-TRGO) nanoparticles, respectively. By using polyvinyl chloride (PVC), tetrahydrofuran (THF), and NiFe-TRGO, the nanocomposite film was synthesized using the solution casting technique with a thickness of 0.12–0.13 mm. Improved electromagnetic interference shielding efficiency was obtained in the 0.1–20 GHz frequency range. The initial assessment was done through XRD for the confirmation of the successful fabrication of nanoparticles and DC conductivity. The microstructure was analyzed with scanning electron microscopy. The EMI shielding was observed by incorporating a filler amount varying from 5 wt.% to 40 wt.% in three different frequency regions: microwave region (0.1 to 20 GHz), near-infrared (NIR) (700–2500 nm), and ultraviolet (UV) (200–400 nm). A maximum attenuation of 65 dB was observed with a 40% concentration of NiFe-TRGO in nanocomposite film.
