Phys.org  January 25,2023 An international team of researchers (Sweden, China) experimentally demonstrated, for the first time, a mechanically flexible silver mesh that is visibly transparent, allows high-quality infrared wireless optical communication and efficiently shields electromagnetic interference in the X band portion of the microwave radio region. The Ag mesh/polyethylene (PE) achieved high average EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) of 28.8 dB in the X band with an overall transmittance of 80.9% at 550 nm. With a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) coating, the average EMI SE was still up to 26.2 dB and the overall transmittance was increased to 84.5% at 550 nm due […]
