The main objective of this article is to describe the effect of different length (aspect ratio) of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the electrical conductivity and electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of polystyrene/l-MWCNT and toughened polycarbonate/s-MWCNT composites. Long and short MWCNTs having aspect ratio of ~666 - 1333 and ~157 respectively were used for melt-mixed with polystyrene and toughened polycarbonate in a micro compounder. The uniform dispersion of MWCNT in matrix was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. The realization shielding effectiveness value of -21dB respectively for PS/l-MWCNT composites: and -27dB for TPC/s-MWCNT composites at 10phr loading of MWCNTs, which show their potential use in making of mechanically strong and light weight EMI shield used for commercial application.
