In the present work, electromagnetic interference shielding properties of polymer composites with dispersed cup-stacked carbon nanotubes, graphite nanoparticles and carbon black were investigated. The polymer composites with carbon nanoparticles content from 1 to 5 w% were successfully prepared by the coagulation method, and composite sheets with thickness from 0.25 to 0.77 mm were formed by the hot press technique. The electromagnetic interference shielding efficiency measured in the frequency range of 8.2~12.4 GHz (X-band) of cup-stacked carbon nanotubes/polymer composite was considerably higher than that of carbon black and graphite nanoparticles polymer composites at the same contents of carbon nanoparticles, and contribution of absorption to the shielding efficiency was found to be higher than that of reflection.

In the age of mobile electronics and increased aerospace interest, multifunctional materials such as the polymer composites reported here are interesting alternatives to conventional materials, offering reduced cost and size of an electrical device packaging. We report a detailed study of an ecological and dual-functional polymer composite for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and heat management applications. We studied a series of polylactic acid/graphene nanoplatelet composites with six graphene nanoplatelet loadings, up to 15 wt%, and three different flake lateral sizes (0.2, 5 and 25 μm). The multifunctionality of the composites is realized via high EMI shielding efficiency exceeding 40 dB per 1 mm thick sample and thermal conductivity of 1.72 W/mK at 15 wt% nanofiller loading. The EMI shielding efficiency measurements were conducted in the microwave range between 0.2 to 12 GHz, consisting of the highly relevant X-band (8–12 GHz). Additionally, we investigate the influence of the nanofiller lateral size on the studied physical properties to optimize the studied functionalities per given nanofiller loading.

A carbon nanotubes (CNTs) composite and its electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (SE) were investigated. Its absorptance, reflectance and shielding effectiveness (SE) were analysed. The CNTs composite has a shielding effectiveness (SE) of more than 25 dB (>99.68%) in frequency range from 30 MHz to 5 GHz. The testing results also demonstrate that the shielding mechanism of the CNTs composite is mainly EMI absorption of electromagnitic radiation. The high SE of the CNTs composite in the study is attributed to a high aspect ratio (>3000) and good conductive network of CNTs within the composite.

This article appraises the contemporary reinforcement of carbon black in different polymer matrices. Essential features of polymer/carbon black composites are influenced by particle size, surface area, and surface chemistry of filler. Special emphasis is placed on recent research trends attained using polymer/carbon black composites. These materials have potential in fuel cells, sensors, detectors, supercapacitors, electromagnetic interference shielding, shape memory, dye-sensitized solar cells, and coatings. Various aspects, such as interfacial interaction, processing conditions, particle dispersion, and other physical properties, are highlighted for further exploration to discover hidden possibilities for these indispensable polymer composites.

Polyethylene (PE) based composites with segregated carbon nanotubes (CNTs) network was successfully prepared by hot compressing of a mechanical mixture of PE and CNT powders. Through comparison with a composite comprising randomly distributed carbon nanotubes of the same concentration, we prove that namely the segregated CNT network is responsible for the excellent electrical properties, i.e., 10−1 S/m at 0.5–1% and 10 S/m at 6–12% of CNT. The investigation of the complex impedance in the frequency range 1 kHz–2 MHz shows that the sign of real part of the dielectric permittivity ε r ′ changes from positive to negative in electrically percolated composites indicating metal-like behavior of CNT segregated network. The obtained negative permittivity and AC conductivity behavior versus frequency for high CNT content (3–12%) are described by the Drude model. At the same time, in contrast to reflective metals, high electromagnetic shielding efficiency of fabricated PE composites in the frequency range 40–60 GHz, i.e., close to 100% at 1 mm thick sample, was due to absorption coursed by multiple reflection on every PE-CNT segregated network interface followed by electromagnetic radiation absorbed in each isolated PE granule surrounded by conductive CNT shells.
