Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Technologies

Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Technologies: Theory and Applications offers a comprehensive evaluation of recent advancements in materials and technologies utilised for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. This book provides a substantial theoretical foundation. In addition to discussing the synthesis and characterisation of different EMI shielding materials, it offers a comprehensive examination of the current progress, constraints and resolutions in EMI shielding strategies across various sectors including space, defence, electronics and medical. Chapters are split by application area as opposed to material type for increased readability. This accessible book will be of interest to scientists and researchers working on satellite development, electronic warfare systems, future automobile systems, medical device production and electronic devices. Engineers and postgraduate students will benefit from the incorporation of theory in this book.

Reenu Elizabeth John is currently working as an Assistant Professor and Head of Department of Physics at Saintgits College of Engineering, Kerala.

She has received project funding from the Centre for Engineering Research and Development (CERD) under the Research Seed Money (RSM) scheme for her work on EMI shielding. Steffy Sara Varghese is currently working as an Assistant Professor in the School of Engineering, Architecture and Interior Design at Amity University, Dubai. She obtained her Ph.D. in 2019 from the Indian Institute of Geomagnetism (IIG), Mumbai, for her research on nonlinear wave structures in Earth's magnetosphere. She later pursued postdoctoral research at the Space and Planetary Science Center, Khalifa University, UAE. Her research interests span solar-terrestrial interactions, plasma wave theory, and materials science in space. She has published extensively in reputed international journals and also served as a reviewer for international journals. In recognition of her contributions, she received the Young Scientist Award from International Union of Radio Sciences (URSI-GASS) in the year 2023. She is a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Anoop Chandran is an Assistant Professor and Research Advisor in the Physics Department at St. Cyril's College in Adoor. He received a Ph.D. for his research on 1D semiconductor nanomaterials in 2015. Later that year, the Dr. D. S. Kothari Postdoctoral Fellowship was granted to him for his proposal on semiconductor-CNT/graphene hybrids. He is also a member of the American Chemical Society. He has published extensively in a number of reputable international journals, and he has co-authored several book chapters and edited one book. He has also served as a reviewer for international journals. 1D nanomaterials, dielectrics, photovoltaics, polymer nanocomposites, hybrid conducting composites for EMI shielding, and membrane-based water purification are some of his current research interests. N. V. Unnikrishnan is currently a visiting Professor at Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam.
