Benefits of Electrically Conductive Silicone Composites as EMI Shielding Solutions

Abstract

The requirements of advanced elastomeric materials for automotive, communications and consumer electronics become more demanding as devices continue to miniaturize and receive data at wider ranges of frequencies. Electrically conductive and EMI shielding silicone composites are advanced elastomeric solutions for shielding, grounding, and bonding and offer broad application temperatures, high purity, low flammability and toxicity, fast processing speed, and thermal aging stability. Tunable electric and mechanical performance of these silicones is discussed and compared to other organic resin solutions such as epoxy and polyurethanes.
