Lightweight and Flexible Graphene Foam Composites for High‐Performance Electromagnetic Interference Shielding

IO N The rapid development of modern electronics packed with highly integrated circuits generates severe electromagnetic radiation, which leads to harmful effects on highly sensitive precision electronic equipment as well as the living environment for human beings. Great effort has been made for the development of high-performance electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials. In addition to high EMI shielding performance, being lightweight and fl exible are two other important technical requirements for effective and practical EMI shielding applications especially in areas of aircraft, aerospace, automobiles, and fast-growing next-generation fl exible electronics such as portable electronics and wearable devices. [ 1 ] Recently, electrically conductive polymer composites have received much attention for EMI shielding applications, [ 1–12 ] because of their light weight, resistance to corrosion, fl exibility, good processability, and low cost compared to the conventional metal-based materials. The EMI shielding effectiveness of the polymer composites depends critically on the intrinsic electrical conductivity, dielectric constant, magnetic permeability, aspect ratio, and content of conductive fi llers. [ 1–12 ] It is believed that high electrical conductivity and connectivity of the conductive fi llers can improve EMI shielding performance. [ 1 , 2 , 4 , 7 , 8 ]
