Electromagnetic Shielding of Polymer Composites

Dear Colleagues,

Polymer composites can serve as electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials, as an alternative to metals in all those applications where light weight, versatility, design flexibility, low cost, and facile processing are required. The huge increase of high-frequency electronic systems and telecommunication devices has raised EMI pollution to a level never seen before. EMI shielding is presently a crucial demand in applications like aerospace, automotive, and portable or wearable electronics.

The aim of this Special Issue is to seek and gather state-of-the-art research as well as high-quality review papers dealing with the EMI shielding effectiveness of flexible polymer composites comprised of metals (including transition metal carbides and nitrides) and various forms of carbon nanofillers such as carbon black, carbon nanofibers, carbon nanotubes, graphite, graphene, graphene oxide, graphene nanosheets, graphene nanoribbons, and graphene nanoplatelets. Special emphasis will be given to applications in the GHz–THz range; nevertheless, contributions exploring different regions of the frequency spectrum are welcome too. Authors are invited to submit their latest results.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Polymers is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
