  Abstract: Electrically conductive polymer composites have emerged as promising multifunctional materials for lightweight antenna housings by integrating structural strength, electrical conductivity, thermal stability, and electromagnetic interference shielding. In this study, micro-aluminum reinforced Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) polymer composites were fabricated using twin-screw melt compounding followed by compression molding for IoT-enabled lightweight antenna housing applications. The influence of micro-aluminum loading on microstructure, mechanical performance, electrical conductivity, EMI shielding, thermal stability, and wireless …
