Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding is of special significance for increasing electrical and electronic components in electronic devices electronic systems and telecommunications. In particular, with the recent development of electric vehicles and aerospace devices and smart portable and wearable electronics, EMI shielding materials are demanding more stringent requirements to match lighter, thinner, more flexible, and even foldable properties. Within such a context, lightweight carbon-based nanomaterials, such as carbon dots, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene oxide (GO) and, their composites, with remarkable mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, and functional properties have shown their outstanding potential for use in EMI shielding technologies. Controlling the physical structures and morphology of carbon composites that go from 0-dimensional to 3-dimensional structures and altering the chemical and physical properties by introducing foreign chemical species and functional particles are also critical to EMI shielding properties.
This Special Issue is a timely approach to investigate the recent progress in the field of new trend in carbon science and further dedicated to the study of advanced functional carbons and their composites for EMI shielding applications, covering not only progressive material synthesis, special treatments, and new characterization but also novel lightweight designs of new composite materials and structures.
It is our pleasure to invite you to submit original research articles, short communications and state-of-the-art reviews within the scope of this Special Issue.
