    The development of lightweight composites with superior mechanical properties and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding performance is essential for various structural and functional applications. This study investigates the effect of hybrid nanocarbon (graphene nanosheet (GNS) and carbon nanotube (CNT)) reinforcements on the properties of magnesium (Mg) matrix composites. Specifically, the GNS-CNT hybrid, which forms a three-dimensional interconnected network structure, was analyzed and compared to composites reinforced with only GNSs or CNTs. The objective was to determine the benefits of hybrid reinforcements on the mechanical strength and EMI shielding capability of the composites. The results indicated that the GNS-CNT/Mg composite, at a nanocarbon content of 0.5 wt.% and a GNS-CNT ratio of 1:2, achieved optimal performance, with a 55% increase in tensile strength and an EMI shielding effectiveness of 70 dB. The observed enhancements can be attributed to several key mechanisms: effective load transfer, which promotes tensile twinning, along with improved impedance matching and multiple internal reflections within the GNS-CNT network, which enhance absorption loss. These significant improvements position the composite as a promising candidate for advanced applications requiring high strength, toughness, and efficient electromagnetic shielding, providing valuable insights into the design of high-performance lightweight materials.
