With the rise of the fifth-generation (5G) mobile communication, electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radiation become progressively serious toward electronic devices and human health, resulting in an increasing demand for EMI shielding materials. Polymer-based EMI shielding materials have drawn considerable attention in relevant industries and academia owing to their low density, easy processing, and superior flexibility. In this review, we systematically discuss the development of polymer-based shielding materials fabricated by using polymers as matrices and precursors. The architecture design of polymer composites is emphasized including homogenous structure, porous structure, laminated structure, and segregated structure. Specific attention is also given to the polymer derivatives from synthetic and natural polymers. Finally, we summarize the recent advancements and our guidelines for the development of polymer-based EMI shielding materials in the 5G era.
