Electromagnetic shielding

Another promising application of graphene lies in its superb electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding properties. Electromagnetic radiations from cellular networks and wireless devices have raised concerns regarding possible health hazards. Graphene sheets have demonstrated the ability to block over 99% of electromagnetic waves across frequencies due to its ultrathin layered structure. This makes it an ideal material for shielding enclosures of electronic gadgets as well as other radiation-prone industrial equipment. Leading telecom equipment suppliers are investing in R&D utilizing graphene's properties for 5G and IoT-enabled devices of the future.

Military and aviation sectors require strict control over electromagnetic emissions from sensitive electronics onboard. Graphene composites show potential to provide lightweight yet highly effective shielding layers in aerospace and defense applications. Even healthcare industry benefits from it, as growing usage of MRI machines and other diagnostic equipment necessitates robust shielding materials. Graphene films have been shown to shield magnetic fields ten times better than copper films. Continuous progress in synthesis techniques will make graphene more commercially viable for various EMI shielding solutions across sectors.
