Protein-based Aerogels: Toward Scalable, Bio-Based EMI Shielding
The project focuses on the development of multifunctional aerogels using bio-based protein scaffolds and conductive 2D nanomaterials (e.g., graphene oxide, MXene). These materials are engineered for high-performance electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, combining structural resilience with electrical conductivity using scalable, low-energy fabrication methods.
The integration of EMI shielding materials into lightweight and flexible systems contributes directly to the protection and performance of sensitive electronic components—relevant for emerging applications in defense, aerospace, miniaturized and wearable technologies.
