Abstract
In this paper, we propose a multilayer nanostructured composite for broadband shielding applications. Layers disposal, electrical parameters, and thicknesses are optimized through a winning particle optimization algorithm to achieve the minimization of the transmitted waves. The structures are simulated by including the forward/backward scattering matrix formalism in the optimization code. The adopted algorithm is the recently introduced winning particle optimization. Manufacturing of the composites is grounded on the optimization procedure. Thanks to the macroscopic absorption features of such nanostructured layers, very thin and lightweight composites can be produced. Several weight percentages of multiwall carbon nanotubes are considered in composite base material manufacturing, also including 6wt% and 15wt% in order to enhance the electromagnetic shielding performance. Prototypes are tested in the microwave region, showing the reliability of the optimization procedure.
