Abstract

The increasing demand for biodegradable and environmentally friendly materials is shifting the focus from traditional polymer composites to biocomposites in various applications, especially in electromagnetic shielding. Effective utilization of biopolymers demands improved properties and can be achieved to a certain extent by functionalization. Biopolymers such as cellulose, polylactic acid, and starch are some of the potential candidates for mitigating electromagnetic pollution in next-generation electronic devices because of their high aspect ratio, flexibility, light weight, high mechanical strength, thermal stability, and tunable microwave absorption to the electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding composites. This Review provides an overview of the current advancements in EMI shielding materials and outlines recent research on EMI shielding composites that utilize various biodegradable polymer structures.
