Magnetic Metal–Polymer Composites with Ferromagnetic Particle Networks for EMI Shielding in Flexible ElectronicsBy Kedri Janardhana, P. Suresh Kumar, Santhi M George, B Karthik, P.Duraipandy, Kode Jaya Prakash, Gadhamsetty Gurumahesh, Sathish Rengarajan, Sekar K
Abstract: The rapid expansion of flexible and wearable electronic systems has intensified the demand for lightweight, mechanically compliant materials capable of effective electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. In this study, magnetic metal–polymer composites with magnetically aligned ferromagnetic particle networks were developed and systematically investigated for EMI shielding in flexible electronics. Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) was employed as an elastomeric polymer matrix due to its excellent flexibility, dielectric characteristics, and compatibility with particulate fillers. …

Polymer-Based Transparent Conductive Composites for Flexible Solar Panel CoatingsBy P. Suresh Kumar, Krishnagandhi Pachiappan, J Ananth, M Pandikumar, Arigela Sri Harsha, Md Irshad Alam, A.Vijayalakshmi, Prashant Sunagar, Sapthagirivasan V
Abstract: This study investigates the fabrication and characterization of polymer-based transparent conductive composites (PTCCs) tailored for flexible solar panel coatings using poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) matrices reinforced with silver nanowires (AgNWs), multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), and PEDOT:PSS. The composites were synthesized through a solution blending and doctor-blade casting method followed by post-treatments to enhance interfacial bonding and conductivity. Optical transmittance values above 85% were achieved across all composite …
