High electromagnetic shielding of plastic package for 2.5-Gb/s optical transceiver modules

A lightweight, low-cost plastic package for a 2.5-Gb/s optical transceiver module, that also has good electromagnetic shielding properties, has been fabricated using woven continuous carbon fiber (CCF) epoxy composite. The shielding effectiveness (SE) of the CCF epoxy composite has been modeled theoretically and measured from 500 MHz to 3 GHz using the ASTM D4935 and a near-field test method. Two types of weaving patterns were studied: a balanced twill structure (BTS) and a parallel structure. The BTS was able to achieve an SE of about 80 dB under plane wave conditions and about 50 dB under near-field conditions because of the numerous conductive between crossing fibers. The SE of the proposed package is at least 20 dB greater than the previous package which used a liquid crystal polymer composite. In addition to better shielding performance, the proposed package costs less because it uses less carbon fiber. The proposed package for an optical transceiver is suitable for use in a low-cost lightwave transmission system     

Electromagnetic shielding of nylon-66 composites applied to laser modules

Electromagnetic shielding of nylon-66 composites applied to laser modules was studied experimentally and theoretically. The effects of conductive carbon fiber length and weight percentage upon the shielding effectiveness (SE) of nylon composites were investigated. The SE of long carbon fiber filled nylon-66 composites was found to be higher than short carbon fiber composites under the same weight percentage of carbon fibers. In addition, higher electromagnetic shielding was obtained for the composite with higher carbon fibers contents at the same length. The SE of conductive carbon fiber filled nylon-66 composites was measured to be 42 dB at a low frequency of 30 MHz and 50 dB at a high frequency of 1 GHz. The SE predicted by theoretical models and measured by experiments were in good agreement for filled nylon-66 composites with different length fiber.     

A carbon nanotube polymer-based composite with high electromagnetic shielding

A novel, polymer-based carbon nanotube (CNT) composite with high electromagnetic (EM) wave shielding effectiveness (SE) and high mechanical properties was developed. Two types of CNTs with different aspect ratios and morphologies are compared in this study. Amorphous carbon and graphite powder are used as reference materials. The liquid crystal polymer (LCP) and melamine formaldehyde (MF) are used as polymer matrices to study the orientation effect of CNTs in a polymer matrix. The influences of orientation, aspect ratio, mass fraction, and morphology of CNTs upon the shielding effectiveness (SE) of CNT/polymer composites are investigated. The experimental results show that the higher the orientation, the aspect ratio, and the weight percentage of nanomaterials are in the composite, the higher the polymer composites’ SE. The nanomaterials’ morphology, especially CNTs, also affects the SE value of the polymer composite. The highest SE for the CNT/LCP composite obtained is >62 dB. The theoretically calculated SE data are consistent with experimentally obtained data.     

The influence of fiber orientation on electromagnetic shielding in liquid-crystal polymers

The influence of conductive carbon-fiber orientation and weight percentage on the electromagnetic (EM) shielding effectiveness (SE) in liquid-crystal polymer (LCP) composites was investigated experimentally and theoretically. The experimental results show that the SE of LCP composites with longitudinal fiber orientation is higher than random fiber orientation under the same weight percentage of carbon fibers filled. This is because longitudinal fiber orientation is parallel to the electric field of the incident EM wave, and most of the energy of the incident wave is reflected by the longitudinal fiber. In comparison with nylon66 composites, the SEs of LCP composites with longitudinal fiber orientation are also higher than nylon66 composites with the same content of carbon fibers. Furthermore, the SE of 20% conductive carbon-fiber-filled LCP composites was measured to be 50 dB at a frequency of 0.3 GHz and 53 dB at 1 GHz, which is at least 10 dB higher than that of nylon66 composites. The SE predicted by theoretical models and measured by experiments was in good agreement for carbon-fiber-filled LCP composites of longitudinal and random fiber orientations.

Lightweight and Anisotropic Porous MWCNT/WPU Composites for Ultrahigh Performance Electromagnetic Interference Shielding

Lightweight, flexible and anisotropic porous multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/water‐borne polyurethane (WPU) composites are assembled by a facile freeze‐drying method. The composites contain extremely wide range of MWCNT mass ratios and show giant electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness (SE) which exceeds 50 or 20 dB in the X‐band while the density is merely 126 or 20 mg cm^?3, respectively. The relevant specific SE is up to 1148 dB cm³ g^?1, greater than those of other shielding materials ever reported. The ultrahigh EMI shielding performance is attributed to the conductivity of the cell walls caused by MWCNT content, the anisotropic porous structures, and the polarization between MWCNT and WPU matrix. In addition to the enhanced electrical properties, the composites also indicate enhanced mechanical properties compared with porous WPU and CNT architectures.

Absorption-Dominant Electromagnetic Interference Shielding through Electrical Polarization and Triboelectrification in Surface-Patterned Ferroelectric Poly[(vinylidenefluoride-co-trifluoroethylene)-MXene] Composite

Extensive utilization of electronic devices and wireless equipment require human to take affirmative measures to weaken unwanted electromagnetic wave radiations. Herein, a ferroelectric poly[(vinylidenefluoride-co-trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)-MXene]-poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) multilayered film is developed that can increase electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding performance through electrical polarization. The MXene is encapsulated by a P(VDF-TrFE) matrix, which inhibits oxidation, and a highly conductive MXene is created conductive network resulting in enhancement EMI shielding effectiveness (EMI SE). Furthermore, the surface pattern inducing multiple scattering and PEDOT layer contributes to the increasing absorption due to the electrically conductive PEDOT. Thanks to the electrically polarized and negatively charged P(VDF-TrFE)-MXene, the composite film demonstrates superior EMI SE and absolute EMI SE (SSE_t) are exhibited remarkable ≈61 dB and 15230 dB cm²g⁻¹ with high absorptivity (0.87) at thickness of 120 µm in X-band. Additionally, P(VDF-TrFE)-MXene composite film is applicable to motion and thermo-resistive sensor due to the negatively charged P(VDF-TrFE) and thermo-resistive property of PEDOT, respectively, for multifunctionality. This work provides a feasible avenue for flexible absorption dominant EMI shielding materials via electrical polarization with remarkable EMI shielding performance.     

Ultrathin Wood-Derived Conductive Carbon Composite Film for Electromagnetic Shielding and Electric Heating Management

Recently, wood-based composites have absorbed widespread concern in the field of electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding due to their sustainability and inherent layered porous structure. The channel structure of wood is often used to load highly conductive materials to improve the EMI shielding performance of wood-based composites. However, there is little research on how to use pure wood to prepare ultrathin EMI shielding materials. Herein, ultrathin veneer is obtained by cutting wood in parallel to the annual rings. Then, carbonized wood film (CWF) is prepared by a simple two-step compressing and carbonization. The specific EMI shielding effectiveness (SSE/t) of CWF-1200 with an ultrathin thickness (140 µm) and high electrical conductivity (58 S cm⁻¹) can reach 9861.41 dB cm² g⁻¹, which is much higher than other reported wood-based materials. In addition, the zeolitie imidazolate framework-8 ( ZIF-8) nanocrystals are grown in situ on the surface of the CWF to obtain CWF/ZIF-8. CWF/ZIF-8 exhibits an EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) of up to 46 dB and an ultrahigh SSE/t value of 11 330.04 dB cm² g⁻¹ in X band. In addition, the ultrathin CWF also shows an excellent Joule heating effect. Therefore, the development of ultrathin wood-based film provides a research basis for wood biomass to replace traditional non-renewable and expensive electromagnetic (EM) shielding materials.
