Abstract

This application-focused chapter elucidates the versatile utility of graphene-bearing polymer composites in addressing challenges related to electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and flame retardancy. Through a comprehensive exploration of these applications, the chapter highlights these composites’ exceptional properties and potential. Specifically tailored for EMI shielding, the composites demonstrate remarkable efficacy in attenuating electromagnetic waves across various frequencies. Furthermore, their incorporation in flame-retardant materials offers enhanced fire resistance and safety, which is vital for numerous industries. By showcasing practical examples and real-world scenarios, this chapter serves as a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and industry professionals seeking innovative solutions in materials science.
