Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electromagnetic interference shielding (EMI) should ensure conflict-free cooperation of devices and systems with the electromagnetic environment. This means that the considered facility is not very susceptible to environmental impact and at the same time has a negligible impact on the environment. This task becomes increasingly difficult in the context of the visible, progressive dependence of modern society on electronic devices and systems. They have become an integral part of complex systems, including energy systems, conditioning their proper operation. The efficiency and reliability of these systems depends primarily on the resistance of electronic systems to electromagnetic exposure, which rapidly decreases with miniaturization of systems, which has been forced by technological developments in this field. At the same time, one should not forget the need to protect people against exposure to electromagnetic fields of an ever wider frequency spectrum and ever greater power. The answer to this demand is the development of the field of shielding materials, with increasing need for their other properties, such as mechanical and optical properties.
Therefore, the purpose of this Special Issue is to create a platform to disseminate new findings on a wide range of flexible materials that also have electromagnetic wave damping properties.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- textile-based shields;
- nanoparticle-based shields;
- foam shielding materials;
- polymer shielding materials;
- graphene-based shielding materials;
- optical transparent shielding materials;
- thin layer-based shielding materials;
- nanowire/nanofiber-based shielding materials;
- methods of measuring the effectiveness of shielding;
- methods of producing shielding materials.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
