description | In this study, the electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness (SE) of polymer composites based on natural graphite in flakes (NGF) and silicone rubber was investigated with the aim to contribute to the development of the technology of electromagnetic shielding materials. This topic has attracted great attention to the aeronautical and aerospace applications, due to the serious problems that EMI can cause to the functioning of electronic devices. According to this, the present work has produced samples of composite materials with variations on the sizes of the filler particles and composition of the samples. The electromagnetic characterization of the samples is given by the Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) in the X-band frequency range (8.2 – 12.4 GHz). The results indicate that the variation of particle sizes is determinant to the SE performance along with the X-band frequency range. Furthermore, the expansion of the range of granulometry allows controlling the curves of the peaks along the X-band. |
