Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electromagnetic pollution, known as electromagnetic interference (EMI), has increased and will continue to do so, reaching higher levels because of the wide proliferation of electrical/electronic products and battery-based electric vehicles. The most common use of EMI shielding is for the reflection of metal-based materials; however, it has inherent disadvantages such as its heavy weight, high corrosion, and high cost. The development of light-weight and cost-effective EMI shielding materials is a priority that must be solved for the development of electric vehicles and micro-electronic devices.
Recently, conductive or magnetic filler (carbon fiber, carbon black, carbon-nano tube, graphene, metal particle, etc.) incorporated polymer composites have been widely used for EMI shielding materials for replacing metal. EMI shielding can be achieved through the reflection or absorption of incident EM waves, as well as through mechanisms such as destructive interference between reflected waves (radar absorbing structure (RAS)) or multiple reflections within composites. To enhance the performance of these EMI shielding composites, the synthesis of nano-fillers, dispersion and mixing methods of fillers, fabrication processes, and structural design of composites are comprehensively being researched.
The main aim of this Special Issue is to collect various studies about investigations into the development of EMI shielding composites. The submitted studies can deal with EMI shielding fillers, polymer matrix, structure and fabrication processes of the composites, etc. Research on radar absorbing structure (RAS) using destructive interference or multi-layer structures for multiple reflections is also welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Composites Science is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
