Carbon nanotubes materials and their application to guarantee safety from exposure to electromagnetic fields

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)-filled epoxy composites and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) coatings were prepared by mechanical grinding with the use of a planetary ball mill. Electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness, electromagnetic absorption and reflection properties of the materials were investigated. With MWCNTs loadings higher than 20 wt%, epoxy/MWCNTs composites and PMMA/MWCNTs coatings also exhibited the full capability of shielding from more than 99% electromagnetic radiation at the 100 MHz–14 GHz frequency range.
