Mechanical and EMI shielding properties of solid and microcellular TPU/nanographite composite membranes

Tough, flexible, and conductive polymer composites show numerous advantages over conventional metal-based materials for EMI shielding applications, for example, in enclosures and packages of electronic devices, due to their low density, high flexibility, excellent corrosion resistance, and easy proc...
