Development of Electromagnetic Shielding Material Based on Devulcanised Crumb Rubber

Abstract

Shielding materials play an essential role in the prevention of electromagnetic irradiation and electromagnetic interference from electric equipment. Physico-chemical modification of crumb rubber and devulcanised rubber leads to the formation of materials with distinctive properties suitable for the development of composites for electromagnetic protection. The current paper introduces an approach for secondary raw materials modification for production of composite mixtures, which could be used electromagnetic shielding materials. Experimental evaluation of electromagnetic shielding properties was performed. Devulcanised rubber-based composite materials are considered as electromagnetic shielding materials for equipment in transport systems and civil engineering applications.
