Exploring the efficacy and future potential of polypyrrole/metal oxide nanocomposites for electromagnetic interference shielding: a review

Abstract

With recent advancements in technology, the emission of electromagnetic radiation has emerged as a significant issue due to electromagnetic interferences. These interferences include various undesirable emissions that can degrade the performance of equipment and structures. If left unresolved, these complications can create extra damage to the security operations and communication systems of numerous electronic devices. Various studies have been conducted to address these issues. In recent years, electrically conductive polypyrrole has gained a unique position because of its many advantageous properties. The absorption of microwaves and the electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding characteristics of electrically conductive polypyrrole can be described in relation to its great electrical conductivity with strong relaxation and polarization effects due to the existence of strong bonds or localized charges. In the present review, advancements in electromagnetic interference shielding with conjugated polypyrrole and its nanocomposites with metal oxides are discussed and correlated with various properties such as dielectric properties, magnetic properties, electrical conductivity, and microwave adsorption properties. This review also focuses on identifying the most suitable polypyrrole-based metal oxide nanocomposites for electromagnetic interference shielding applications.
