Abstract

In this article, the electromagnetic shielding properties of carbon nanotube–polymer nanocomposites are presented. The composite fabrication technique is spray-drying, the usage of which leads to a uniform dispersion of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in a polymer matrix. Obtaining good filler dispersion is necessary to form a continuous, electrically conductive network of CNTs inside the polymer matrix. In the described nanocomposites, the network of conductive filler particles acts as an electromagnetic radiation barrier. For this reason, developing a highly effective fabrication method is very important. Also, the method should be simple enough to be easily adopted in an industrial environment. The authors shows in this text that both goals mentioned are achieved. The obtained nanocomposite material not only has electrostatic shielding capabilities but comprises electromagnetic shielding properties, which fulfills the main goal of the presented work. It is also worth mentioning that the developed manufacturing method allows for the usage of different fillers and polymers and thus the fabrication of materials capable of meeting a wide range of requirements.
