Polymer Film Can Limit Electromagnetic Interference

Engineers at the University of California-Riverside have developed a film incorporating a nanomaterial filler that reportedly provides an effective shield against electromagnetic interference.

According to an article posted in February to the website of Engineering and Technology (E&T), the film developed by the engineering team consists of composites synthesized with one-dimensional van der Waals materials, which “exfoliate” into needle-like structures. Testing showed that the resulting composite film provides “exceptional” shielding against electromagnetic radiation in the GHz and sub-THz frequency ranges.

Equally important, the chemical process used to produce the film can reportedly be quickly scaled for mass production of these materials.

A Dash of Maxwell’s: A Maxwell’s Equations Primer – Part Two

Maxwell’s Equations are eloquently simple yet excruciatingly complex. Their first statement by James Clerk Maxwell in 1864 heralded the beginning of the age of radio and, one could argue, the age of modern electronics.

Read the E&T article discussing the promise of nanowire-filled film in reducing electromagnetic interference.
