Annotation

The composite samples studied in this work were Polypropylene/graphene nanocomposites prepared with different graphene nanofiller concentrations (2, 6, 10, 15 and 20 wt. %). All samples were prepared using the melt mixing method. followed by compression molding to form the test specimens. The electromagnetic interference (EMI) was investigated for the prepared sheets with different graphene concentrations at microwave frequencies [8-12 GHz], it was found that the Shielding effectiveness (SE) increases with both the graphene content and the applied microwave frequency. The shielding effectiveness (SE) enhances to about 35 dB. These results highlight the potential of these nanocomposites for applications in electronic packaging and other areas requiring effective EMI protection.
