Electroless deposition for electromagnetic shielding

Another important application of electroless deposition of metals such as Ni or Co on fibers or nonconductive particulates is important for the electromagnetic shields.46,47 Many polymer films, fibers, and plastics are metallized for microelectronics, computers, and automotive industries to provide the electromagnetic shielding. 

Ability of a material to absorb or reflect the electromagnetic radiation (EMR) in a given frequency range determines the particular 

Electroless deposition offers an attractive way of producing various fillers with a conductive surface or desirable magnetic properties, which can further be used in the production of composite materials with dielectric matrices for electromagnetic shielding.
