Hybrids based on poly(vinylidene fluoride) and Cu nanoparticles: Characterization and EMI shielding

Novel hybrids based on PVDF and varied concentration of Cu nanoparticles have been prepared in order to analyze their electromagnetic interference shielding response and, consequently, their capability to be a good alternative to replace metals for that application. Very promising results have been found in this area. Moreover, a complete structural and morphological characterization, as well as a previous evaluation of their mechanical behavior, has also been performed.
