Electromagnetic Shielding
With the rapid growth of wireless communication, advanced electronics, and radar technologies, electromagnetic interference (EMI) has become an increasingly critical issue, impacting the performance of devices and posing risks to both civilian and defense systems. At MC2E, our research is focused on developing next-generation microwave absorbing materials with strong electromagnetic shielding capabilities, tailored for demanding environments and multifunctional use. Our aim is to engineer materials that not only provide effective EMI shielding but also exhibit stability under extreme conditions such as high temperatures and corrosive atmospheres.
To achieve this, we are exploring a range of advanced hybrid materials. These materials exhibit superior microwave attenuation, driven by mechanisms such as magnetic loss, dielectric loss, and multiple scattering effects. Techniques like plasma-assisted synthesis and atomic-scale layer-by-layer deposition allow precise control over material architecture, enhancing both performance and durability. Our ultimate goal is to design lightweight, thermally stable, and corrosion-resistant shielding materials suitable for aerospace, military, and next-generation electronic applications, contributing to the future of high-performance, multifunctional protective technologies.
