Visualization of Deep Convolutional Neural Networks to Investigate Porous Nanocomposites for Electromagnetic Interference Shielding.

Constructing porous structures in electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials is a common strategy to decrease the secondary pollution caused by the reflection of electromagnetic waves (EMWs). However, the lack of direct analysis methods makes it difficult to fully understand the effect of porous structures on EMI, hindering EMI composites' development. Furthermore, while deep learning techniques, such as deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs), have significantly impacted material science, their lack of interpretability limits their applications to property predictions and defect detection tasks.
