Abstract

Nickel filaments of 0.4 μm diameter gave polyethersulfone-matrix composites with high electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness and low surface impedance at 1-2 GHz. With 7 vol.% nickel filaments, the composite exhibited shielding effectiveness 87 dB (compared to 90 dB for solid copper), surface impedance 1.2 Ω (same as for solid copper), tensile strength 52 MPa, modulus 5 GPa, ductility 1.0% and density 1.87 g/cm3. The low surface impedance is valuable for microwave waveguides.
