The investigation of the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of multi-layered nanocomposite materials from reduced graphene oxide-doped P(AN-VAc) nanofiber mats/PP spunbond:

In this study, the production of an electromagnetic shielding material by doping reduced graphene oxide was aimed. Graphene oxide was produced from graphite through modified Hummer's method, and reduced graphene oxide was obtained by reducing graphene oxide. The reduced graphene oxide- doped poly(acrylonitrile-co-vinyl acetate) nanofiber mats were spun on the Polypropylene spunbond fabrics by a multi-needle electrospinning device at different lap numbers. Multi-layered surface samples of spunbond/nanofiber mats were obtained via calendaring process after overlapping in different layer numbers. The electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (EMSE) of these samples was measured in the range of 0.03–1.5 GHz according to ASTM D4935 standard. The effects of the numbers of laps and layers on the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of the mats were also investigated. It was found that electromagnetic shielding effectiveness is greatly affected by changing the numbers of laps and layers. Consequently, the highes...
