  Conductive paper is prepared by coating a paper’s surface using an electroless nickel plating technique. In this study, we established a process for preparing conductive paper and derived the optimum process conditions. Experimental results confirmed the relationships between paper thickness, coating structure, and electrical characteristics. The prepared conductive paper effectively shields circuitry from electromagnetic waves. The electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of samples was evaluated by the KEC method, and an electric field shielding effectiveness of 60 dB was confirmed, showing that the proposed conductive paper can be used to achieve electromagnetic compatibility.
