Abstract

Electroless nickel coated carbon fibers (ENCF) were blended with acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) to prepare composites for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. The effects of processing parameters, such as additives, temperature, and fiber loading amount, on EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) were researched. The thermal stability of EMI SE of ENCF/ABS composites was tested by heat treating composites in a drying oven at 60°C, and SE was measured at an interval of one week to consider the degradation of SE. The best SE of ENCF/ABS composites could be reached was 44 dB at optimum processing parameters. The thermal stability of ENCF/ABS composites for EMI shielding was steady without obvious degradation after 60°C heat treatment for five weeks. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
