Abstract

Highlights: Understanding of electrospun fibrous materials and EMI shielding materials. The recent progress in application of EMI shielding from electrospun fibrous materials. Future perspectives of novel electrospun fiber composites for EMI shielding. Abstract: Owing to the development of electronic information technology, the pollution of electromagnetic wave (EMW) radiation is getting worse. Thus, it is urgent to investigate shielding materials with excellent electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding properties. Recently, electrospinning has been developed in various fields, and one-dimensional nanofibers prepared by electrospinning can realize the shielding of EMW, due to their outstanding advantages. In this review, at the beginning, the basic mechanism of electrospinning technology and related EMI shielding are introduced. Then, different fibrous materials directly from electrospinning for the EMI shielding are summarized. Next, electrospun EMI shielding composites by different post treatments are discussed. Finally, various influencing factors on the EMI shielding properties are summarized. At the end, conclusions and future perspectives are provided. Hopefully, this review would provide basic understanding on the development of electrospun fibrous materials for EMI shielding, and give the future roadmap for the high performance electrospun fiber-based EMI shields.
