Carbon fabric composite is used in technical applications such as aircrafts in which electromagnetic shielding (electromagnetic interference–shielding effectiveness) is required. Traditionally, metallic coatings or metal plates are used for electromagnetic shielding, however, conductive filler-filled composite is also alternative to metal sheets due to its light weight. In the literatures, there are studies about effect carbon nanotube and graphene oxide flakes on electromagnetic interference; however, there are no studies encountered that search the effect of carbon nanotube/graphene oxide fiber and alignment of graphene oxide fiber on electromagnetic interference. Thus, in this study, fabrication of light-weight carbon fabric/epoxy composite filled with graphene oxide fiber, reduced graphene oxide fiber and multiwalled carbon nanotube and alignment of graphene oxide fiber was studied for the first time for both electromagnetic shielding (electromagnetic interference–shielding effectiveness) and electrical conductivity. It was found that reduced graphene oxide with two layers at the same alignment (0–0) leads to increment in the electromagnetic interference–shielding effectiveness value, while reduced graphene oxide with opposite alignment (0–90) leads to decrease in the electromagnetic interference–shielding effectiveness value. Opposite to literatures for graphene oxide flakes, highly rough surface of graphene oxide fiber and reduced graphene oxide fiber causes a deterioration in electromagnetic interference–shielding effectiveness due to disruptive multiple reflections resulted from highly rough surface of graphene oxide fiber, which causes multiple reflection effect. Multiwalled carbon nanotube generally provides higher electromagnetic interference–shielding effectiveness than graphene-based fiber because it has higher conductivity and has no disruptive effect of crimpy surface as graphene oxide fiber. Multiwalled carbon nanotube loading of 15 wt% results to 32 dB electromagnetic interference–shielding effectiveness, which is considered an adequate and moderate level of shielding for many applications.

In this work, Ti3SiC2-based ceramics were fabricated by the infiltration of liquid silicon into TiC preform by incorporating a small amount of Al. Al can play a catalytic role to promote the formation of TiC twins before liquid silicon infiltration (LSI), which leads to the increase of transformation efficiency from TiC to Ti3SiC2 in the LSI process. When the Al content in the TiC preform increases to 9 wt.%, the volume content of Ti3SiC2 reaches 85 vol.%, revealing the high electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness of 39 dB in the frequency range of 8.2–12.4 GHz. The results indicate that it is an effective way to synthesize Ti3SiC2-based ceramics with excellent electromagnetic shielding performance.

A carbon nanotubes (CNTs) composite and its electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (SE) were investigated. Its absorptance, reflectance and shielding effectiveness (SE) were analysed. The CNTs composite has a shielding effectiveness (SE) of more than 25 dB (>99.68%) in frequency range from 30 MHz to 5 GHz. The testing results also demonstrate that the shielding mechanism of the CNTs composite is mainly EMI absorption of electromagnitic radiation. The high SE of the CNTs composite in the study is attributed to a high aspect ratio (>3000) and good conductive network of CNTs within the composite.

Carbon nanotube (CNT) acts as electromagnetic interference shielding material in concrete composites was presented in this paper. Three concrete samples respectively with different CNT contents were casted and experimentally tested their shielding effectiveness (SE). The SE measurements which were obtained in function of frequency were taken using vector network analyzer (VNA) in the frequency range of 2.4 - 4.0 GHz. The experimental results showed that the CNT contributes to change in conductivity due to the positioning of the electric field of the incident wave and thus, produces different shielding performances. The EMI SE of concrete composites is improved up to 41dB with CNT concentration of 1.5-2.0 wt%.
