Engineering Plastics for 5G EMI Shielding and Thermal Control
The global rollout of 5G technology has been a catalyst for rethinking the materials used in next-generation devices. Unlike previous mobile generations, 5G relies heavily on millimeter wave (mmWave) frequencies, which offer faster data speeds but are more vulnerable to interference. With escalating demands for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and thermal regulation in compact, high-frequency...
