The advance of research on 2D transition metal carbides, carbonitrides, and nitrides (collectively known as MXenes) has progressed rapidly since the introduction of Ti3C2 in 2011. Nowadays the number of MXene synthesized in lab has reached more than 20, while there are currently about 20 theoretically predicted structures. In this study, we calculate the electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness of a series of MXene films in theory and find that the results are in good agreement with the measured data. From this, we can use this method to calculate electromagnetic properties of all kinds of 2D material films which are similar to Mxenes.

Electrically conductive and magnetically permeable carbon nanofiber-based composites were developed using the electrospinning with subsequent heat treatment. The composite nanofiber contains a variable composition of magnetite nanoparticles with two different size regimes, ranging from superparamagnetic (10–20 nm) to ferromagnetic (20–30 nm). The composite nanofibers are then characterized using Scanning/Transmission Electron Microscopy, X-Ray Diffractometry, Raman Spectroscopy, four-point probe, and a Superconducting Quantum Interference Device. Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Effectiveness of pristine carbon nanofibers as well as electromagnetic composite nanofibers are examined in the X-band frequency region. Higher degree of graphitization, electrical conductivity, and magnetic strength are obtained for nanocomposites containing larger magnetite nanoparticles (20–30 nm). A transition from superpartamagnetic to ferromagnetic characteristics is observed during nanocomposite processing. Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Effectiveness of as high as 68 dB (in the working frequency of 10.4 GHz) is observed for composite nanofibers fabricated with larger magnetite nanoparticles carbonized at 900℃.

The conventional electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials are being gradually replaced by a new generation of supported conducting polymer composites (CPC) films due to their many advantages. This work presents a contribution on the effects of silane surface–modified flexible polypyrrole-silver nanocomposite films on the electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI-SE). Thus, the UV-polymerization was used to in-situ deposit the PPy-Ag on the biaxial oriented polyethylene terephthalate (BOPET) flexible substrates whose surfaces were treated by 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS). X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) analyzes confirmed the APTMS grafting procedure. Structural, morphological, thermal, and electrical characteristics of the prepared films were correlated to the effect of substrate surface treatment. Thereafter, EMI-SE measurements of the elaborated films were carried out as per ASTM D4935 standard for a wide frequency band extending from 50 MHz to 18 GHz. The obtained results confirmed that the APTMS-treated BOPET film exhibit higher EMI shielding performance and better electrical characteristics compared to the untreated film. In fact, a 32% enhancement of EMI-SE was noted for the treated films compared to the untreated ones. Overall, these results put forward the role played by the surface treatment in strengthening the position of flexible PPy-Ag supported films as high-performance materials in electronic devices and electromagnetic interference shielding applications.
