“…This in turn justifies the scientific and industrial communities pursuit for novel, low cost, environment friendly and effective electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials for various applications . Materials with good electrical conductivity generally have good EMI SE (shielding effectiveness), however most of the conventional/established EMI SE materials are primarily made up of metallic materials and have major drawbacks like; (a) high cost, (b) difficulty in processing, (c) chance for corrosion, and (d) out of control EMI SE values . Conductive polymer composites (CPCs) which are made up of polymer matrices and fillers like graphene, carbon nanotube (CNT), carbon black, carbon nanofiber, etc., on the other hand have advantages like low weight, processing easiness, corrosion resistance, low cost and conductivity which can be further tuned based on user needs when compared with the conventional metal based conducting composites .…”
