Abstract
The growth in the application of electronic devices across a broad spectrum of military, industrial, commercial and consumer sectors has created a new form of pollution known as noise or radio frequency interference or electromagnetic radiation or electromagnetic interference that can cause interference or malfunctioning of equipment. Therefore, there is a greater need for the effective shielding of components from its adverse effects. This review surveys the shielding materials like metals, for the control of electromagnetic radiations. These materials should exhibit effective shielding performance as well as other appropriate physical properties. To meet this challenge, in this article, a computer code based on a genetic algorithm is developed to optimize losses that come from the material surface.
