Sustainable EMI Shields from Graphite-PVDF—A Scalable Solution for the 5G Era

Identifying the Issue

  • The projected demand for EMI shielding materials for the purpose of protection of high-end sensitive electronic devices is rising due to the expansion of 5G telecommunication services, digitization, and the electronics industry.
  • Many currently existing EMI shielding materials and techniques are energy-intensive to produce, or involve hazardous precursors or solvents, thus limiting environmental safety and scalability.

Objective of the Research

  • To fabricate EMI shields having high shielding effectiveness by a sustainable and facile method using graphite and PVDF
  • To investigate their shielding and electrical properties with variation in weight% of the constituents and with thickness of the shield to arrive at the optimum parameters for shielding.

Who should read this?

  • Professionals working on EMI shielding materials and sustainable fabrication.
  • Those interested in the electrical properties of PVDF-Graphite composite, and its compositional and thermal properties

Solution

A simple, scalable, and eco-friendly method of blending and pressing, followed by low temperature annealing with negligible solvent use to fabricate EMI shields using Graphite and PVDF.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Graphite-PVDF composites developed using the scalable, and energy-efficient method showed tunability in their electrical and dielectric properties.
  • The Graphite-PVDF composites exhibit electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness up to 50 dB in the X-band microwave region, making them promising materials for lightweight, cost-effective microwave shielding applications.
  • The composite shields also exhibited suitable mechanical properties required for EMI shielding applications.
  • As the technique required very minimal use of organic solvent, it is environment friendly while being scalable.

Impact

  • Graphite-polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) composites preparation by a novel, energy-efficient and scalable route.
  • Electrical conductivity tuned from 10−7 to 1 S/m by increasing graphite wt%.
  • At 30 wt% graphite: maximum dielectric loss ~5000, absorbance = 42% & SE A = 86%.
  • Dielectric constant and loss are large above the percolation threshold of 25 wt%.
  • High SET of 30-50 dB achieved in X-band microwave region for 20–40 wt% graphite.
