Novel hybrids based on PVDF and varied concentration of Cu nanoparticles have been prepared in order to analyze their electromagnetic interference shielding response and, consequently, their capability to be a good alternative to replace metals for that application. Very promising results have been found in this area. Moreover, a complete structural and morphological characterization, as well as a previous evaluation of their mechanical behavior, has also been performed.
