Unlocking the electromagnetic shielding potential of polymer composites: a survey of magneto-dielectric fillers

Abstract Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) poses an ever-increasing challenge in the age of wireless communication, electronic miniaturization, and ubiquitous connectivity. Electromagnetic radiation produced by electronic gadgets, may accumulate in the environment and interfere with each other resulting in the loss of signals, resulting in the malfunctioning of the equipment. Long-term exposure to Electromagnetic (EM) waves also may adversely affect the physical and mental well-being of human beings. These reasons have made developing shielding materials for preventing electromagnetic interference a promising area of research today. This review throws light on the current trends in developing flexible polymer-based reinforced with conductive, magnetic, and dielectric fillers.
