Polyaniline-Stannous Oxide Composites: Novel Material for Broadband EMI Shielding

Abstract:

Insitu polymerization of aniline was carried out in the presence of stannous oxide (SnO) to synthesize Polyaniline (PAni)/SnO composites by chemical oxidation method. The surface morphology of the composites were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).The electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding properties of the composites were investigated for different wt % of SnO (10,20,30,40 and 50 wt%) in PAni. The EMI measurements were carried out in the frequency range from 8.2 to 12.4 GHz (X-band), which is relevant for practical applications. EMI shielding effectiveness (EMI SE), microwave absorption and reflection, the influence of SnO concentration in PAni on EMI SE of the composites are reported. The composites exhibit EMI SE value of -18 to -23 dB. The absorption dominated EMI SE of these composites indicates the potential applications of these materials for microwave attenuation in the X-band.
