Nowadays,the research and development of electromagnetic shielding materials pays more attention to thinness,flexibility and flexibility,paper-based electromagnetic shielding materials have better development prospects than metal shielding materials. Based on this,the basic structure,shielding mechanism and influencing factors of shielding efficiency of paper-based electromagnetic shielding materials are introduced. A paper based electromagnetic shielding material with reasonable structure and good shielding efficiency was designed and prepared in order to further explore the preparation technology and shielding efficiency of paper based electromagnetic shielding material. By changing the amount of shielding components and adhesive,the electromagnetic shielding efficiency of the material was analyzed,which provided ideas for developing high-efficiency flexible paper-based electromagnetic shielding materials in the future.
