Abstract

The use of fly ash as an admixture results in enhancement of the electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness from 4 to 8 dB at 1 GHz, whereas the use of silica fume as an admixture results in negligible effect on the shielding effectiveness. The DC electrical resistivity is decreased slightly by silica fume, but is essentially not affected by fly ash. Both fly ash and silica fume cause slight increases in the reflectivity. The effectiveness of fly ash for shielding is attributed to the Fe2O 3 component (15.4 wt.%) in the fly ash.
