Advanced Spinel Ferrite Nanocomposites for Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Applications

Dr. Raghvendra Singh Yadav is a Senior Researcher at the Centre of Polymer Systems, Tomas Bata University, Zlin, Czech Republic. As a Senior Researcher since October 2017, he has been working on advanced graphene-spinel ferrite nanocomposites for electromagnetic interference shielding applications. In 2020, he also worked as a guest scientist in the Functional Nanocomposites and Blends group of Dr. Petra Potschke, at the Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research, Dresden, Germany. Dr. Yadav has published approx. 61 articles in reputed international journals in the field of materials science and nanotechnology, and has published one co-authored book and two book chapters. He has been an editorial board member for several journals, and has received several awards for his research and conference contributions. Dr. Ivo Kuřitka is Associate Professor at the Centre of Polymer Systems, University Institute, Tomas Bata University in Zlin, Czech Republic, and has been a Senior Researcher from the institute’s foundation in January 2011. He is leader of a research group working in the field of nanomaterials, and leader of the research program on Preparation of Advanced Polymer Composite Materials, and within this has also led the research group on Multifunctional Nanomaterials since 2011. Dr. Kuritka’s research focuses on functional nanocomposites, and includes nanoparticle filler synthesis, nanoparticle tailoring, and the preparation of nanocomposites in the form of thin films. He has published over 130 articles, authored one book chapter, co-authored one book, and has 4 patents to his name. Dr. Jarmila Vilčáková is an Associate Professor and Senior Researcher based at the Centre of Polymer Systems, University Institute, Tomas Bata University, in Zlin, Czech Republic. She is a member of a research group on Composites with Electric and Magnetic Properties. Which she joined in 2011. She previously held the post deputy head of the Polymer Centre, with responsibility for property and investments. Dr. Vilčáková’s current research focuses on advanced graphene-spinel ferrite-polymer nanocomposites for microwave absorbing and electromagnetic interference shielding applications, which is an integral part of a large national project supporting the sustainability of the Centre of Polymer Systems, called Centre of Polymer System Plus. Her general research interests are in electromagnetic properties of polymer composite materials and polymers blends, shielding of EMC, and the synthesis of ferromagnetic nanoparticles for hyperthermia treatment. She is the author or co-author of 55 papers, one book, and 4 patents.
