Abstract Lightweight microcellular polyurethane (TPU)/carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/ nickel-coated CNTs (Ni@CNTs)/polymerizable ionic liquid copolymer (PIL) composite foams are prepared by non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS). CNTs and Ni@CNTs modified by PIL provide more heterogeneous nucleation sites and inhibit the aggregation and combination of microcellular structure. Compared with TPU/CNTs, the TPU/CNTs/PIL and TPU/CNTs/Ni@CNTs/PIL composite foams with smaller microcellular structures have a high electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI SE). The evaporate time regulates the microcellular structure, improves the conductive network of composite foams and reduces the microcellular size, which strengthens the multiple reflections of electromagnetic wave. The TPU/10CNTs/10Ni@CNTs/PIL foam exhibits slightly higher SE values (69.9 dB) compared with TPU/20CNTs/PIL foam (53.3 dB). The highest specific EMI SE of TPU/20CNTs/PIL and TPU/10CNTs/10Ni@CNTs/PIL reaches up to 187.2 and 211.5 dB/(g cm−3), respectively. The polarization losses caused by interfacial polarization between TPU substrates and conductive fillers, conduction loss caused by conductive network of fillers and magnetic loss caused by Ni@CNT synergistically attenuate the microwave energy.

The cement-based composite shielding materials filled with carbon materials such as ordinary carbon materials (graphite, coke and carbon black), carbon fiber and nano-carbon materials (carbon nano-tube and nano-carbon black) were prepared. The relationship of conductivity and shielding effectiveness in a frequency range of 100 KHz~1.5 GHz was studied. The electric properties of cement-based composites filled with carbon fiber is better than other carbon materials. With the contents of carbon fiber of 5.vol%, the average shielding effectiveness is about 37 dB and the maximum shielding effectiveness reaches 40 dB.

AbstractLightweight, flexibility, and low thickness are urgent requirements for next-generation high-performance electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials for catering to the demand for smart and wearable electronic devices. Although several efforts have focused on constructing porous and flexible conductive films or aerogels, few studies have achieved a balance in terms of density, thickness, flexibility, and EMI shielding effectiveness (SE). Herein, an ultrathin, lightweight, and flexible carbon nanotube (CNT) buckypaper enhanced using MXenes (Ti3C2Tx) for high-performance EMI shielding is synthesized through a facile electrophoretic deposition process. The obtained Ti3C2Tx@CNT hybrid buckypaper exhibits an outstanding EMI SE of 60.5 dB in the X-band at 100 μm. The hybrid buckypaper with an MXene content of 49.4 wt% exhibits an EMI SE of 50.4 dB in the X-band with a thickness of only 15 μm, which is 105% higher than that of pristine CNT buckypaper. Furthermore, an average specific SE value of 5.7 × 104 dB cm2 g−1 is exhibited in the 5-μm hybrid buckypaper. Thus, this assembly process proves promising for the construction of ultrathin, flexible, and high-performance EMI shielding films for application in electronic devices and wireless communications.

Recent experiments have revealed two distinct percolation phenomena in carbon nanotube (CNT)/polymer nanocomposites: one is associated with the electrical conductivity and the other is with the electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. At present, however, no theories seem to exist that can simultaneously predict their percolation thresholds and the associated conductivity and EMI curves. In this work, we present an effective-medium theory with electrical and magnetic interface effects to calculate the overall conductivity of a generally agglomerated nanocomposite and invoke a solution to Maxwell’s equations to calculate the EMI shielding effectiveness. In this process, two complex quantities, the complex electrical conductivity and complex magnetic permeability, are adopted as the homogenization parameters, and a two-scale model with CNT-rich and CNT-poor regions is utilized to depict the progressive formation of CNT agglomeration. We demonstrated that there is indeed a clear existence of two separate percolative behaviors and showed that, consistent with the experimental data of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA)/multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) nanocomposites, the electrical percolation threshold is lower than the EMI shielding percolation threshold. The predicted conductivity and EMI shielding curves are also in close agreement with experimental data. We further disclosed that the percolative behavior of EMI shielding in the overall CNT/polymer nanocomposite can be illustrated by the establishment of connective filler networks in the CNT-poor region. It is believed that the present research can provide directions for the design of CNT/polymer nanocomposites in the EMI shielding components.

Lightweight electromagnetic interference shielding cellulose foam/carbon fiber composites were prepared by blending cellulose foam solution with carbon fibers and then freeze drying. Two kinds of carbon fiber (diameter of 7 μm) with different lengths were used, short carbon fibers (SCF, L/D = 100) and long carbon fibers (LCF, L/D = 300). It was observed that SCFs and LCFs built efficient network structures during the foaming process. Furthermore, the foaming process significantly increased the specific electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness from 10 to 60 dB. In addition, cellulose/carbon fiber composite foams possessed good mechanical properties and low thermal conductivity of 0.021–0.046 W/(m·K).

Electromagnetic shielding performance has been achieved for a polyimide (PI)-matrix composite by the strategy of self-metallization of its thermosetting PI matrix. Self-metallization of the thermosetting PI was realized by silver ion/poly(amic acid) (PAA) precursor ion exchange and thermal reduction. The factors influencing the self-metallization were investigated. The electrical conductivity and integrity for the surface of the PI were achieved by optimization of ion exchange/thermal reduction parameters. The fabricated PI-matrix composite exhibits a maximum electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness value of 81 dB. Importantly, the electromagnetic shielding performance can be maintained even after heat condition of 300°C. Meanwhile, the surface-metallized PI composite exhibits mechanical property equivalent to the pristine composite, and an Ag/matrix interfacial strength higher than 19.6 MPa. Besides, self-metallization mechanism of the thermosetting PI was investigated.

Highlights The cationic waterborne polyurethanes microspheres with Diels-Alder bonds were synthesized for the first time. The electrostatic attraction not only endows the composite with segregated structure to gain high electromagnetic-interference shielding effectiveness, but also greatly enhances mechanical properties. Efficient healing property was realized under heating environment. Abstract It is still challenging for conductive polymer composite-based electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials to achieve long-term stability while maintaining high EMI shielding effectiveness (EMI SE), especially undergoing external mechanical stimuli, such as scratches or large deformations. Herein, an electrostatic assembly strategy is adopted to design a healable and segregated carbon nanotube (CNT)/graphene oxide (GO)/polyurethane (PU) composite with excellent and reliable EMI SE, even bearing complex mechanical condition. The negatively charged CNT/GO hybrid is facilely adsorbed on the surface of positively charged PU microsphere to motivate formation of segregated conductive networks in CNT/GO/PU composite, establishing a high EMI SE of 52.7 dB at only 10 wt% CNT/GO loading. The Diels–Alder bonds in PU microsphere endow the CNT/GO/PU composite suffering three cutting/healing cycles with EMI SE retention up to 90%. Additionally, the electrostatic attraction between CNT/GO hybrid and PU microsphere helps to strong interfacial bonding in the composite, resulting in high tensile strength of 43.1 MPa and elongation at break of 626%. The healing efficiency of elongation at break achieves 95% when the composite endured three cutting/healing cycles. This work demonstrates a novel strategy for developing segregated EMI shielding composite with healable features and excellent mechanical performance and shows great potential in the durable and high precision electrical instruments.
