Flexible nanocomposite films with electromagnetic interference shielding properties

The ongoing advancements in electronic equipment towards intelligence, portability, and wearability have increased demand for lightweight, flexible, and mechanically robust electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials. There are textile-based EMI shields in the market; however, they are mostly reflection-based shields rather than absorption-based, which results in secondary pollution. As such, this research project is an initiative taken by the Nanomaterials and Polymer Nanocomposites Laboratory (NPNL) at the University of British Columbia and Nanosafeair to design a thin, flexible absorption-based EMI shield mat for wearable applications. 2 Ph.D. students will perform the project over 6 months.
