Herein, layer-structured Fe–Si–B/Ni–Cu–P metallic glass composites have been developed by simple electroless plating Ni–Cu–P coating on commercial Fe–Si–B metallic glasses. The 0.1 mm-thick composite shows EMI shielding effectiveness of 40 dB over the X-band frequency range, which is higher than those of traditional metals, metal oxides, and their polymer composites of larger thickness. Most of the applied electromagnetic waves are proved to be absorbed rather than bounced back. This performance originates from the combination of a superior soft magnetic property, excellent electrical conductivity, and multiple internal reflections from multilayer composites. In addition, the flexible composites also exhibit good corrosion resistance, high thermal stability, and excellent tensile strength, making them suitable for EMI shielding in harsh chemical or thermal environments. 2017-11-10 00:00:00 Efficient Electromagnetic Interference Shielding glass composites X-band frequency range 0.1 mm-thick EMI shielding effectiveness Fe EMI shielding polymer composites electromagnetic waves 40 dB metal oxides corrosion resistance electromagnetic interference
