Electro Magnetic Shielding Effectiveness of High Density Polyethylene Based Composite Materials

Abin Paul ^[3] | Clint K S

Abstract: Our project is on Electromagnetic shielding effect of High density polyethylene based composite material and also try to analysis the mechanical properties of the materials. Composite making aims on light weight materials having the same strength of metals and at low expense. In this project we are making mainly three type of composite materials, carbon ISAF 220 (Intermediate super abrasion furnace black) with high density polyethylene, fly ash with high density polyethylene and copper with high density polyethylene at 1mm at 5 %, 10 %, 15 % weight fraction. After making the specimens, we conducted non destructive test of shielding effectiveness in the materials using microwave testing apparatus and using the observed values we plotted graphs to get result. Mechanical properties of composite have also been studied.
