3D-Printed Nanocarbon Polymer Conductive Structures for Electromagnetic Interference Shielding.

ABSTRACT: Electromagnetic interference (EMI) significantly affects the performance and reliability of electronic devices. Although current metallic shielding materials are effective, they have drawbacks such as high density, limited flexibility, and poor corrosion resistance that limit their wider application in modern electronics. This study investigates the EMI shielding properties of 3D-printed conductive structures made from polylactic acid (PLA) infused with 0D carbon black (CB) and 1D carbon nanotube (CNT) fillers. This study demonstrates that CNT/PLA composites exhibit superior EMI shielding effectiveness (SE), achieving 43 dB at 10 GHz, compared to 22 dB for CB/PLA structures. Further, conductive coating of polyaniline (PANI) electrodeposition onto the CNT/PLA structures improves the SE to 5
