Author Description

Porous Nanocomposites for Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Shielding thoroughly discusses the fabrication, processing, and design parameters of advanced materials for electromagnetic pollution suppression for high-frequency electronics. The aim of this book is to provide readers with an understanding of the important concepts and most relevant advances in the engineering of porous nanocomposites for enhanced microwave absorption and EMI shielding. Porous materials reviewed include foams and aerogels which offer a robust and light-weight solution to design and fabricate microwave absorbers that can be a potential solution to stifle electromagnetic (EM) pollution. For microwave radiation to interact with these porous materials, conductive nanostructures are incorporated into polymer matrices and subsequently foamed to fabricate hybrid porous nanocomposites. The aim of this book is to review the recent advances in the area of porous nanocomposites that have the ability to absorb EM radiation and thereby suppress EM pollution. Porous Nanocomposites for Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Shielding is suitable for materials scientists and engineers working in academia and research and development in industry. Reviews the latest advances in the fabrication, processing, and design of porous nanocomposites for enhanced microwave absorption and electromagnetic interference shielding applications Provides the key information on the most relevant porous nanocomposites for electromagnetic interference shielding (EMI) including aerogels and foams derived from polymers, ceramics, carbon and other advanced materials Discusses life cycle analysis and recycling considerations of porous nanocomposites
