Rather than causing damage from heat, blast, and radiation of a regular nuclear weapon, recently, it is predicted that North Korea has been inventing high altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) missile in order to incapacitate electronic equipment. HEMP shielding facility is used for military purpose today. Despite the electromagnetic shielding effects from high quality compression plates, problems may include such as the possibility of electromagnetic influx resulting in the welding of the compression plates, and difficulties and high cost of construction. Therefore, in this study, a high electrical conducting material was added to the concrete experimental subject to ensure the shielding effect through electromagnetic waves to for the concrete structure, instead of building a shielding facility separately for the structure. Also, among the experimental subjects, 100 ${\mu}m$ of Iron-Aluminum alloy metal spraying coat was applied to two types with the highest shielding effect, and to two types with the lowest shielding effect. The result of the experiment indicates that experimental subjects added with a high electrical conductivity material did not meet the minimum shielding criteria of MIL-STD-118-125-1 standard, but all the experimental material applied to the metal spraying coating satisfied the minimum shielding criteria. In conclusion, it is considered that 100 µm of Iron-Aluminum alloy metal spraying coat contains high efficiency in the HEMP shielding.

DC and AC electrical conductivity and electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness of milled carbon fiber/nylon composites were investigated with the kind of nylon matrix. Percolation transition at which the conductivity is sharply increased was observed at about 7 vol% of milled carbon fiber. Nylon 46 as a matrix was more effective to obtain high electrical conductivity than nylon 6, and the difference in conductivity was occurred by the treatment of coupling agent. Frequency dependence of AC conductivity could be explained by relaxation phenomenon at just below percolation and resonance phenomenon at 40 vol% of carbon fiber, respectively. Negative temperature coefficient phenomenon was found in all composites. Electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness was increased with the concentration of carbon fiber. At a high conductivity region the return loss was more dominant to the total shielding effectiveness than the absorption loss.

In this paper, we evaluated shielding effectiveness (SE) of carbon nanotube (CNT) film using near field scanning (NFS) in near field analysis. We adopted CNT film with deposit carbon density of 5% and thickness of 1mm for evaluation of shielding characteristic. Using a test coupon analogized to an actual IC package, we measured SE according to measuring position and SE according to distances between the CNT film and the test coupon. As a result, the measured SE in the near field varied with frequency. Especially, the measured electric field SE in the center of the test coupon is better than that of the measured edge point of the test coupon where it is affected by fringing effect. The results show that the measured SE in the near field is affected not only by frequency but also by measurement environment such as position and height of the probe and height of shielding film. In conclusion, we should choose proper methods for SE measurement considering interference distance in the electronic control system because there is little correlation between the proposed evaluation method in the near field and ASTM D 4935-10.

In this paper, circula and rectangular apertures arranged with triangular and rectangular lattices and having a certain thickness are considered for eddective electromagnctic wave shielding when the plane wave is incident normally to the perfectly conductingmaterrial. The shielding effectiveness is represented by the transmitted power which can be obtained by reflection and transmission coefficients using Floquet mode representation.

In this work, carbon fibers were electrolessly Ni-plated in order to investigate the effect of metal plating on the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (EMI-SE) of Ni-coated carbon fibers-reinforced epoxy matrix composites. The surfaces of carbon fibers were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Electric resistance of the composites was tested using a 4-point-probe electric resistivity tester. The EMI-SE of the composites was evaluated by means of the reflection and adsorption methods. From the results, it was found that the EMI-SE of the composites enhanced with increasing Ni plating time and content. In high frequency region, the EMI-SE didn't show further increasing with high Ni content (Ni-CF 10 min) compared to the Ni-CF 5 min sample. In conclusion, Ni content on the carbon fibers can be a key factor to determine the EMI-SE of the composites, but there can be an optimized metal content at a specific electromagnetic frequency region in this system.

MXene, a two-dimensional transition metal carbide or nitride, has recently attracted much attention as a lightweight and flexible electromagnetic shielding material due to its high electrical conductivity, good mechanical strength and thermal stability. In particular, the Ti-based MXene, Ti₃C₂T_x and Ti₂CT_x are reported to have the best electrical conductivity and electromagnetic shielding properties in the vast MXene family. Therefore, in this study, Ti₃C₂T_x and Ti₂CT_x films were prepared by vacuum filtration using Ti₃C₂T_x and Ti₂CT_x dispersions synthesized by interlayer metal etching and centrifugation of Ti₃AlC₂ and Ti₂AlC. The electrical conductivity and electromagnetic shielding efficiency of the films were measured after heat treatment at high temperature. Then, X-ray diffraction and photoelectron spectroscopy were performed to analyze the structural changes of Ti₃C₂T_x and Ti₂CT_x films after heat treatment and their effects on electromagnetic shielding. Based on the results of this study, we propose an optimal structure for an ultra-thin, lightweight, and high performance MXene-based electromagnetic shielding film for future applications in small and wearable electronics.

Additional metal shielding is installed in the water pipes used in septic tanks to protect against damage from electromagnetic pulse (EMP) events. This shielding prevents EMP damage, but impurities present in water cannot pass through the shielding structure. Thus, the original function of the water pipes is lost as the pipes are blocked, and an additional maintenance workforce is needed to manage this blockage. To solve this problem, we propose a water pipe without an additional shielding structure; the proposed pipe was designed with consideration of the attenuation characteristics of water. The immersed depth was varied from 400 mm to 800 mm, while the diameter of the pipe was fixed at 100 mm. The shielding effectiveness increased from 70 dB to 100 dB around 2 GHz. Through the verification process, we propose an effective design guideline that can maintain the function of the water pipe and provide protection from EMP damages without additional shielding structure.

Recently, integration of parts is accelerating according to the growth of the smart mobile industry. The integration of these parts causes problems of interference phenomena between the parts, and the importance of electromagnetic wave shielding technology to solve this problem is highlighted. Electromagnetic wave shielding technology is implemented so as to reflect or absorb electromagnetic waves, and generally conductive materials are utilized for electromagnetic wave shielding. Transparent shielding technology is required according to recent industrial changes. In this research, we propose transparent the shielding film using imprint technology with conductive composite binder. Utilizing UV polymerized acrylic binder to produce a conductive composite binder. Spherical, plate and stacked silver particles were used for conductivity. The changes of the curing characteristics, conductivity and adhesion were observed according to the structural characteristics of the silver particles. The use of spherical particles was the most efficient in the curing process, and an additional curing system was required to complement the UV-shadowing structure. In the conductivity evaluation, the stacked structure showed excellent characteristics. The adhesion of spherical system was the best. It is evaluated as a result of irregularities on the surface. Ultimately, the patterned film using this showed excellent transparency characteristics.

To investigate the effect of the oxyfluorination of carbon nanotubes (OF-CNTs) on electroless Ni deposition and electromagnetic interference shielding efficiency (EMI SE), CNTs were treated with a mixture of oxygen and fluorine gases and sequentially deposited with nickel. These samples were then manufactured into thin films on a polyimide film to evaluate their EMI SE. The surface chemical property of OF-CNTs was investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. From the results of thermogravimetric and scanning electron microscopic analyses, it was found that both the amount of deposited Ni and the surface morphology changed depending on oxyfluorination. Moreover, the Ni-deposited CNTs pretreated with $O_2:F_2=1:9vol%$ exhibited the maximum EMI SE as approximately 19.4 dB at 1 GHz. These results were attributed to the formation of oxygen and fluorine functional groups on the surface of CNTs due to the oxyfluorination, and the functional groups enabled to deposit a suitable amount of Ni and improve the dispersion in the deposited solution.
