We derive exact values and new bounds for the Shannon capacity of two families of graphs: the $q$-Kneser graphs and the tadpole graphs. We also construct a countably infinite family of connected graphs whose Shannon capacity is not attained by the independence number of any finite strong power. Building on recent work of Schrijver, we establish sufficient conditions under which the Shannon capacity of a polynomial in graphs, formed via disjoint unions and strong products, equals the corresponding polynomial of the individual capacities, thereby reducing the evaluation of such capacities to that of their components. Finally, we prove an inequality relating the Shannon capacities of the strong product of graphs and their disjoint union, which yields streamlined proofs of several known bounds. In addition to contributing to the computation of the Shannon capacity of graphs, this paper is intended to serve as an accessible entry point to those wishing to work in this area.
