The combined use of a highly magnetic filler (mumetal) in low proportion and a highly conductive filler in high proportion in a polymer matrix provides a composite material that is more effective for electromagnetic interference shielding than the use of a highly magnetic filler alone or the use of a highly conductive filler alone. Mumetal is effective (due to absorption) when it is in a composite material of DC electrical resistivity below 10 Ω cm, as provided by conductive fillers, which contribute to shielding by reflection and allow paths for eddy current.
