Additional information

We propose novel microwave-shielding materials based on soft ferromagnetic wires with specific anisotropy. Modelling and experiments on the microwave scattering spectra reveal that enhanced dielectric loss is a dominant mechanism for EMI shielding of the studied composites. In the range of 1-2GHz, the shielding efficiency reaches 18dB (98.4% attenuation), for a very low filler-loading of 0.024% and a thickness of 0.64 mm. The normalised efficiency is a few times higher than those of other shielding candidate materials. This work was part of a collaboration between three universities: Bristol, Plymouth and San Sebastian.
