Enhancement in Electromagnetic Wave Shielding Effectiveness through the Formation of Carbon Nanofiber Hybrids on Carbon-Based Nonwoven Fabrics

The selective hybrid formation of numerous tiny carbon nanofibers (CNFs) in carbon-based nonwoven fabrics (c-NFs), namely CNFs formed only on the surfaces of individual carbon fibers (i-CFs) constituting c-NFs and not on the surfaces of carbon microcoils (CMCs), could be formed by the incorporation...
