By using commercial available electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding fabrics, EMI shielding effectiveness(SE) and the physical properties were investigated. Thirteen specimens were chosen six fabrics were non-electrolytic plated with Cu, six plated with Cu+Ni and one plated with Ni, SE was measured by RF Impedance Analyzer HP4291A(Hewlett Co, Ltd)at the frequency of 100MHz-1.8GHz. The results showed that the commercial EMI shielding fabrics provided SE values over 30dB at the frequency of 100MHz-1.8GHz. Fabrics plated with Cu showed more effective shielding than those plated with Ni. The thickness of coating and fabric count were also influential factors on SE. Tensile properties were acceptable for lining fabrics but water vapor transport properties indicated that the better treatment condition were suggested to improve comfort properties.

The optimized sheet for EMI shielding was prepared by metal power with Fe series. Then various metal powders were deposited on the sheet by PVD method. Moreover, the PVdF nanofiber membrane was used to compare the characteristic of EMI shielding efficiency of various metal powders. The electrical property was measured by the 4-point probe method. The result from EDS confirmed that the metal powder existed on the sheet. EMI shielding efficiency was analysed by EMI shielding measurement apparatus. The lowest electrical resistance, $641.95{\Omega}{wcdot}cm$, was obtained with $1000\;{\AA}$ deposition of Cu on the sheet. It was revealed that the EMI shielding efficiency increased with increase of the metal deposition thickness. The sheet deposited by Cu with $1000\;{\AA}$ showed the highest EMI shielding efficiency, 32.5 dB.

Recently, semiconductor chips and electronic components are increasingly being used in IT devices such as wearable watches, autonomous vehicles, and smart phones. As a result, there is a growing concern about device malfunctions that may occur due to electromagnetic interference being entangled with each other. In particular, electromagnetic wave emissions from wearable or flexible smart devices have detrimental effects on human health. Therefore, flexible and transparent electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials and films with high optical transmittance and outstanding shielding effectiveness have been gaining more attention. The EMI shielding films for flexible and transparent electronic devices must exhibit high shielding effectiveness, high optical transmittance, high flexibility, ultrathin and excellent durability. Meanwhile, in order to prepare this EMI shielding films, many materials have been developed, and results regarding excellent EMI shielding performance of a new materials such as carbon nano tube (CNT), graphene, Ag nano wire and MXene have recently been reported. Thus, in this paper, we review the latest research results to EMI shielding films for flexible and transparent device using the new materials.

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding is an important issue in modern daily life due to the increasing prevalence of electronic devices and their compact design. This study estimated EMI-shielding effect (EMI-SE) of small ($8-14{\times}17mm$) Hanji (Korean traditional paper) doped with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and compared to Hanji without CNT using $^2H$ (92.1 MHz) and $^{23}Na$ (158.7 MHz) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) peak area data obtained from 1 M NaCl in $D_2O$ samples in capillary tubes that were wrapped in the Hanji samples. The simpler method of using the variation of reflected power and tuning frequency by inserting the sample into an NMR coil was also tested at 242.9, 158.7, and 92.1 MHz. Overall, EMI shielding was relatively more effective at the higher frequencies. Our results validated that NMR methods to be useful to evaluate EMI-SE, particularly for small, flexible shielding materials, and demonstrated that EMI shielding by absorption is dominant in Hanji mixed with CNT.

We developed a flexible and micro-thick electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding nanofabric layer that also functions as a water resisting and heat sinking material. Electrospinning followed by a simple heat treatment process was carried on to produce the EMI-shielding Ni/C hybrid nanofibers. The ambient oxygen partial pressure ($pO_2$ = 0.1, 0.7, 1.3 Torr) applied during the heat treatment was varied in order to optimize the effectiveness of EMI-shielding by modifying the size and crystallinity of the magnetic Ni nanoparticles distributed throughout the C nanofibers. Permittivity and permeability of the nanofibers under the electromagnetic (EM) wave frequency range of 300 MHz~1 GHz were measured, which implied the EMI-shielding effectiveness (SE) optimization at $pO_2$ = 0.7 Torr during the heat treatment. The materials' heat diffusivity for both in-plane direction and vertical direction was measured to confirm the anisotropic thermal diffusivity that can effectively deliver and sink the local heat produced during device operations. Also, the nanofibers were aged at room temperature in oxygen ambient for water resisting function.

Currently, the regulation system on controlling EMI has been strengthened throughout the world and this system has emerged as another invisible barrier from the advanced countries. Such a regulation is likely to expand in many various ways depending on the objective and type, and there has to be a fundamental EMI measure to respond this movement. This study is aimed at learning the EMI technology of communication system through the shielding material. It introduces the selection of appropriate shielding material and method of use, and it introduces the cases that resolved the actual EMI problem of the system that is manufactured by the company.

A military shelter for communication and information is necessary to optimize the integrated combat ability of weapon systems in the network centric warfare. Therefore, the military shelter is required for EMI shielding performance. This study examines the stable measurement points for EMI shielding effectiveness of a military shelter for communication and information. The measurement points were found by analyzing the EMI shielding effectiveness measurement data with data mining technique and process capability analysis. First, a support vector machine was used to separate the measurement point that has stable EMI shielding effectiveness according to set condition. Second, this process was conducted with process capability analysis. Finally, the results of data mining technique were compared with those of process capability analysis. As a result, 24 measurement points with stable EMI shielding effectiveness were found.

The sheet for electromagenetic interference (EMI) shielding was prepared with slurry made by the mixture of binder, methyl ethyl ketone, cyclohexanone and metal powder. We tried to enhance the shielding efficiency by adding carbon nanotube (CNT), which has known as highly conducting material. Surface and component analyses were carried out with SEM and EDS, respectively. The electric characteristics and EMI shielding efficiencies were measured with 4-point probe measurement and EMI efficiency measurement equipment. The sheet with 2% CNT addition showed the lowest electrical resistance, $13.13{\Omega}}{\cdot}cm$. It also showed the highest EMI shielding efficiency of 63 dB.

With the rapid growth of the future mobility market, a large number of electronic parts are being used in automobile, and the importance of electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding in the automobile market is growing to minimize malfunctioning among the parts. Accordingly, conductive polymer composites (CPCs) are getting a lot of attention as EMI shielding materials for the automotive, but there are still challenges in CPCs like high content of conductive filler to achieve proper EMI shielding effectiveness, and poor mechanical properties. This paper introduces main methods to manufacture CPCs with segregated filler structure, which can significantly reduce the filler content, and analyzes EMI shielding performance of each manufacturing method.

We investigated the effects of the fabric structure or the kinds of plated metals on the electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) by means of electroless plating on polyester fabric. We found that the weight of deposited metal, EMI SE, and flexibility of the conductive fabric for EMI shield is affected by morphology of fabric and structure of fiber. The EMI SE of conductive fabric plated Ni/Cu/Ni by electroless plating method on draw textured yarn (DTY) polyester was in the practically useful range of above 70 dB over a wide frequency range of 10 MHz to 1.0 GHz at the surface resistivity of $0.05{\Omega}/{\square}$. Au or Ag plated conductive fabric by immersion plating method is not able to provide for a good EMI SE.
