Lightweight carbon foams with excellent electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding performance were prepared by carbonization process, using isocyanate-based polyimide foams as carbon precursors. The influence of carbonization temperature and graphene-doping on the morphological, electrical and EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) of corresponding carbon foams was studied in detail. Results showed that the addition of graphene was beneficial to the improvement of electrical conductivity and EMI shielding performance of carbon foams. The electrical conductivity of carbon foams increased with the carbonization temperature which was related to the increase of graphitization degree. Collapse of foam cells was observed at higher carbonization temperatures, which was detrimental to the overall EMI SE. The optimal carbonization temperature was found at 1100 °C and the carbon foams obtained from 0.5 wt% graphene-doped foams exhibited a specific EMI SE of 2886 dB/(g/cm3), which shows potential applications in fields such as aerospace, aeronautics and electronics.

Insitu polymerization of aniline was carried out in the presence of stannous oxide (SnO) to synthesize Polyaniline (PAni)/SnO composites by chemical oxidation method. The surface morphology of the composites were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).The electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding properties of the composites were investigated for different wt % of SnO (10,20,30,40 and 50 wt%) in PAni. The EMI measurements were carried out in the frequency range from 8.2 to 12.4 GHz (X-band), which is relevant for practical applications. EMI shielding effectiveness (EMI SE), microwave absorption and reflection, the influence of SnO concentration in PAni on EMI SE of the composites are reported. The composites exhibit EMI SE value of -18 to -23 dB. The absorption dominated EMI SE of these composites indicates the potential applications of these materials for microwave attenuation in the X-band.

In this study lightweight carbon fiber and multiwalled carbon nanotubes filled hybrid nanocomposite was fabricated for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding in spacecraft. Electrical conductivity was conducted to assess the affect of MWCNT addition on composite. EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) was tested in the frequency range of 1-18 GHz. Comparison of SE was also made with AA6061-T6 sheet. Dispersion of nanotubes in the matrix was examined through microscopy. Results indicated that the conductivity was increased with increasing MWCNTs up to 0.25 wt%. Higher loading level of MWCNTs has resulted in decrease in conductivity due to agglomeration in cured samples. Hybrid nanocomposite exhibited improved SE than AA6061-T6 in 1-8 GHz frequency range. Best SE and electrical conductivity was witnessed in 0.25 wt% MWCNT sample. EMI SE in range of-20 dB to-40 dB can be easily achieved in our developed material.

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.

Three kinds of diamine monomers [ethylenediamine, butylenediamine and [Formula: see text]-phenylenediamine (PPD)] are adopted to cross-link carboxylated graphene (GP-COOH) sheets through filtration with a vacuum-assisted self-assembly technique, to fabricate highly conductive and excellent electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding films. XRD spectroscopy of cross-linked graphene films exhibits higher interlayer [Formula: see text]-spacing than the GP-COOH film. Results of FTIR and XPS spectroscopies indicate that diamine monomers are chemically grafted to the GP-COOH sheets through nucleophilic substitution reactions. Compared with that of the GP-COOH film, electrical conductivity of the PPD-cross-linked graphene film (GP-PPD) is remarkably improved from 69.7[Formula: see text]S/cm to 248.6[Formula: see text]S/cm, attributed to the decrease of junction contact resistance between adjacent graphene sheets, nitrogen doping effect and repair of defects. Higher nitrogen content and C/O ratio are observed in the XPS spectra of the GP-PPD film, leading to higher electrical conductivity than the remaining two amine-modified graphene films. The GP-PPD film also demonstrates excellent EMI shielding performance, with EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) of 26.5 dB at a thickness of 12.5[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m, which is also better than the others. The outstanding EMI performance of the PPD-cross-linked graphene film is mainly ascribed to the enhanced electrical conductivity and modified electronic structure with nitrogen doping.

As the portable device hardware has been increasing at a noticeable rate, ultrathin flexible materials with the combination of high thermal conductivity and excellent electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding performance are urgently needed. Here, we fabricated ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber with different loading graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs/EPDM) by a cost-efficient approach, which combines mixing, ultrasonication and compression. Further investigation demonstrates that the 8[Formula: see text]wt.% GnPs/EPDM with only 0.3[Formula: see text]mm in thickness shows excellent electrical conductivity (28.3[Formula: see text]S/m), thermal conductivity (0.79[Formula: see text]W/m[Formula: see text]K) and good mechanical properties. Besides, the 8[Formula: see text]wt.% GnPs/EPDM exhibits an EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) up to 33[Formula: see text]dB in the X-band (8.2–12.4[Formula: see text]GHz) and 35[Formula: see text]dB in the Ku-band (12.4–18[Formula: see text]GHz), superior to most of the reported rubber matrix. Additionally, the GnPs/EPDM shows excellent flexibility and stability with 95% and 94% retention of EMI SE even after repeated bending for 5000 times and corrosion (under 5% NaCl environment) for a week. Our flexible EMI shielding material will benefit the fast-growing next-generation commercial portable flexible electrons.

In this work, we propose novel layer-structured polymer composites (PCs) for manipulating the electromagnetic (EM) wave transport, which holds unique electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding features. The as-prepared PCs with a multilayered structure exhibits significant improvement in overall EMI shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) by adjusting the contents and distribution of electrical and magnetic loss fillers. The layer-structured PCs with low nanofiller content (5 wt % graphene nanosheets (GNSs) and 15 wt % Fe3O4) and a thickness of only 2 mm exhibited ultrahigh electrical conductivity and excellent EMI SE, reaching up to 2000 S/m and 45.7 dB in the X-band, respectively. The increased EMI SE of the layer-structured PCs was mainly based on the improved absorption rather than the reflection of electromagnetic waves, which was attributed to the “absorb-reflect-reabsorb” process for the incident electromagnetic waves. This work may provide a simple and effective approach to achieve new EMI shielding materials, especially for absorption-dominated EMI shielding.

AbstractElectromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials have received considerable attention in recent years. The EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) of materials depends on not only their composition but also their microstructures. Among various microstructure prototypes, porous structures provide the advantages of low density and high terahertz wave absorption. In this study, by using carbonised wood (CW) as a template, 1-mm-thick MAX@CW composites (Ti2AlC@CW, V2AlC@CW, and Cr2AlC@CW) with a porous structure were fabricated through the molten salt method. The MAX@CW composites led to the formation of a conductive network and multilayer interface, which resulted in improved EMI SE. The average EMI SE values of the three MAX@CW composites were > 45 dB in the frequency of 0.6–1.6 THz. Among the composites, V2AlC@CW exhibited the highest average EMI SE of 55 dB.

A series of flexible graphene/carbon nanotubes (CNTs) hybrid papers were prepared by a facile impregnation method using cellulose papers as substrate. The impregnation cycles and sequence have a great impact on microstructure, electrical conductivity and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding performance of graphene/CNTs hybrid papers. The results showed that the surface of cellulose papers was covered by graphene and CNTs, forming continuous conductive networks. The graphene/CNTs hybrid papers achieved a thickness range of 174.7-253.2 μm and areal density range of 26-35.7 g/m2, which presented a larger advantage than traditional EMI shielding materials. The electrical conductivity was increased from 0.33 S/cm to 7.63 S/cm with the increase of impregnation cycles from 1 to 5. Furthermore, graphene/CNTs hybrid papers delivered a high EMI shielding effectiveness of 22-32 dB in the frequency of 30-1500MHz, which was superior to single graphene or CNTs papers. Moreover, the electrical conductivity and EMI shielding effectiveness of as-prepared graphene/CNTs hybrid papers presented little decline after even bending 100 times at an angle of 180° owing to their excellent flexibility. The graphene/CNTs hybrid papers possess a huge application potential in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of electronic device.

Polyester nanocomposites reinforced with graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs) with two different lateral sizes are prepared by high shear mixing, followed by compression molding. The effects of the size and concentration of GnP, as well as of the processing method, on the electrical conductivity and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding behavior of these nanocomposites are experimentally investigated. The in-plane electrical conductivity of the nanocomposites with larger-size GnPs is approximately one order of magnitude higher than the cross-plane volume conductivity. According to the SEM images, the compression-induced alignments of GnPs is found to be responsible for this anisotropic behavior. The orientation of the small size GnPs in the composite is not influenced by the compression process as strongly, and consequently, the electrical conductivity of these nanocomposites exhibits only a slight anisotropy. The maximum EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) of 27 dB (reduction of 99.8% of the incident radiation) is achieved at 25 wt.% of the smaller-size GnP loading. Experimental results show that the EMI shielding mechanism of these composites has a strong dependency on the lateral dimension of GnPs. The non-aligned smaller-size GnPs are leveraged to obtain a relatively high absorption coefficient (≈40%). This absorption coefficient is superior to the existing single-filler bulk polymer composite with a similar thickness.

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.
