About the collection

Functional Composite Materials is calling for submissions to our Collection on 'Engineering Polymer Nanocomposites for EMI Shielding Applications.' 

Technical advancements and electronic revolutions are extremely fast-paced and have a profound impact on every spec of our daily lives. In this perspective, the utilization of devices concerning the gigahertz region (electromagnetic spectrum) is widening its spectrum. 5G, LTE (long-term evolution) and several other avant-garde technologies like IoT (internet of things) adds up to the horizon of high-end mobile communication systems. Such advent of high-frequency, high-speed fifth generation communication and the boom of smart electronics with high integration highlight resulted in a colossal jump in electromagnetic pollution in the form of electromagnetic interference (EMI), which adversely affects electronic and electrical equipment performance by causing signal interception, data loss, or even complete failure. Moreover, human health as well as the surrounding environment are now being threatened by electromagnetic (EM) pollution. With this, the demand for lightweight, sleek, small and yet more complex electronic devices have garnered a huge interest, thus, making such complex devices, retaining their lightweight ness, and simultaneously securing them from electromagnetic interference (EMI) is a huge bottleneck that researchers are trying to overcome for the past couple of years. Therefore, the advancement of high-performing EMI shielding materials, associated with impactful research connecting fundamental insights to performance-related metrics, their detailed characterizations and various applications will be promoted in this special collection.
