文摘To shield electronics from complicated electromagnetic environments caused by wireless electromagnetic waves,achieving elaborately structural manufacturing while not sacrificing electromagnetic interference shielding performances remains crucial challenges.Herein,we propose a hierarchical manufacturing method that combines the use of 3D printing shear flow field and layer-by-layer assembly for fabricating the structurally customizable and multifunctional polylactic acid@graphene nanoparticle(PLA@GNs)materials.The dynamic behavior of polymer fluids is firstly explored via computational fluid dynamic simulation,and a Weissenberg number is employed to quantitatively analyze the disordered-to-ordered structural evolution of molecular chains and nanoparticles,allowing to tailor the micro-scale ordered structures.Subsequently,the macro-scale 3D architectures of PLA@GNs modules are fabricated by layer-by-layer assembly.Owing to the aligned GNs,the shielding performance reaches 41.2 d B,simultaneously accompanied by a directional thermal conductivity of 3.2 W m^(-1)K^(-1).Moreover,the potential application of 3D-printed shielding modules in specific civilian frequency bands such as 4G(1800–2100 MHz),Bluetooth(2402–2480 MHz),and 5G(3300–3800 MHz)is fully demonstrated.Overall,this work not only establishes a universal methodology about 3D printing shear flow field-driven orientation of two-dimensional nanoparticles within polymer fluids,but also gives a scientific method for advanced manufacturing of the next-generation electromagnetic functional modules for smart electronics.

Benefiting from the"brick-and-mortar" layered structure and the strong hydrogen-bondinginteractions among MXene, HA, and PPy, the paper exhibits remarkable mechanical performances, including high tensile strength (309.7 MPa),outstanding toughness (57.6 MJ m−3), exceptional foldability, and structural stability against ultrasonication. By using the template effect ofHA/MXene to guide the assembly of conductive polymers, the synthesized paper obtains excellent electronic conductivity. More importantly,the highly continuous conductive path enables the nanocomposite paper to achieve a splendid EMI shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) of 54.1 dBat an ultra-thin thickness (25.4 μm) and a high specific EMI SE of 17,204.7 dB cm2g−1.

文摘In the present work,by virtue of the synergistic and independent effects of Janus structure,an asymmetric nickel-chain/multiwall carbon nanotube/polyimide(Ni/MWCNTs/PI)composite foam with absorption-dominated electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding and thermal insulation performances was successfully fabricated through an ordered casting and directional freeze-drying strategy.Water-soluble polyamic acid(PAA)was chosen to match the oriented freeze-drying method to acquire oriented pores,and the thermal imidization process from PAA to PI exactly eliminated the interface of the multilayered structure.By controlling the electro-magnetic gradient and propagation path of the incident microwaves in the MWCNT/PI and Ni/PI layers,the PI composite foam exhibited an efficient EMI SE of 55.8 dB in the X-band with extremely low reflection characteristics(R=0.22).The asymmetric conductive net-work also greatly preserved the thermal insulation properties of PI.The thermal conductivity(TC)of the Ni/MWCNT/PI composite foam was as low as 0.032 W/(m K).In addition,owing to the elimination of MWCNT/PI and Ni/PI interfaces during the thermal imidization process,the composite foam showed satisfactory compressive strength.The fabricated PI composite foam could provide reliable electromagnetic protection in complex applications and withstand high temperatures,which has great potential in cuttingedge applications such as advanced aircraft.

文摘Electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding materials with superior shielding efficiency and low-reflection properties hold promising potential for utilization across electronic components,precision instruments,and fifth-generation communication equipment.In this study,multistage microcellular waterborne polyurethane(WPU)composites were constructed via gradient induction,layer-by-layer casting,and supercritical carbon dioxide foaming.The gradient-structured WPU/ironcobalt loaded reduced graphene oxide(FeCo@rGO)foam serves as an impedance-matched absorption layer,while the highly conductive WPU/silver loaded glass microspheres(Ag@GM)layer is employed as a reflection layer.Thanks to the incorporation of an asymmetric structure,as well as the introduction of gradient and porous configurations,the composite foam demonstrates excellent conductivity,outstanding EMI SE(74.9 dB),and minimal reflection characteristics(35.28%)in 8.2-12.4 GHz,implying that more than 99.99999%of electromagnetic(EM)waves were blocked and only 35.28%were reflected to the external environment.Interestingly,the reflectivity of the composite foam is reduced to 0.41%at 10.88 GHz due to the resonance for incident and reflected EM waves.Beyond that,the composite foam is characterized by low density(0.47 g/cm^(3))and great stability of EMI shielding properties.This work offers a viable approach for craft-ing lightweight,highly shielding,and minimally reflective EMI shielding composites.

文摘Electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding materials with adaptive strain capability have broad applications in wearable electronic devices.However,as an important candidate,compressible conductive foam generally suffers from a reduction in EMI shielding performance during compression,which limits its application.Here,a compressible conductive aerogel with a unique conductive compensation effect is designed to solve this problem.CuS microspheres with metal-like conductivity serve as conductive compensation sites,and are chemically embedded in the skeletons of lamellar-structured carboxymethylcellulose(CMC)/MXene aerogel through Cu–S−Ti−C chemical bonds.The incorporation of CuS induces circularly-distributed interfacial polarization to enhance the attenuation of EM waves.More importantly,these CuS microspheres act as interlayer bridges to connect the upper and lower MXene/CMC layers during compression,thereby establishing numerous conductive compensation paths to offset the negative effect of thickness reduction on shielding performance.The optimized CMC/MXene/CuS aerogel shows stable EMI shielding performance during compression,and maintains a high shielding effectiveness of∼32.31 dB with increasing compressive strain.In addition,this composite aerogel exhibits good thermal insulation and sound absorption performances,achieving triple shielding functions against EM waves,heat and sound.

文摘Herein,a novel Janus-structured multifunctional membrane with integrated electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding and personalized thermal management is fabricated using shear-induced in situ fibrillation and vacuum-assisted filtration.Interestingly,within the polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE)-carbon nanotube(CNT)-Fe_(3)O_(4)layer(FCFe),CNT nanofibers interweave with PTFE fibers to form a stable“silk-like”structure that effectively captures Fe_(3)O_(4)particles.By incorporating a highly conductive MXene layer,the FCFe/MXene(FCFe/M)membrane exhibits excellent electrical/thermal conductivity,mechanical properties,and flame retardancy.Impressively,benefiting from the rational regulation of component proportions and the design of a Janus structure,the FCFe/M membrane with a thickness of only 84.9μm delivers outstanding EMI shielding effectiveness of 44.56 dB in the X-band,with a normalized specific SE reaching 10,421.3 dB cm^(2)g^(-1),which is attributed to the“absorption-reflection-reabsorption”mechanism.Furthermore,the membrane demonstrates low-voltage-driven Joule heating and fast-response photothermal performance.Under the stimulation of a 3 V voltage and an optical power density of 320 mW cm^(-2),the surface temperatures of the FCFe/M membranes can reach up to 140.4 and 145.7℃,respectively.In brief,the FCFe/M membrane with anti-electromagnetic radiation and temperature regulation is an attractive candidate for the next generation of wearable electronics,EMI compatibility,visual heating,thermotherapy,and military and aerospace applications.

文摘Conductive polymer foam(CPF)with excellent compressibility and variable resistance has promising applications in electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding and other integrated functions for wearable electronics.However,its insufficient change amplitude of resistance with compressive strain generally leads to a degradation of shielding performance during deformation.Here,an innovative loading strategy of conductive materials on polymer foam is proposed to significantly increase the contact probability and contact area of conductive components under compression.Unique inter-skeleton conductive films are constructed by loading alginate-decorated magnetic liquid metal on the polymethacrylate films hanged between the foam skeleton(denoted as AMLM-PM foam).Traditional point contact between conductive skeletons under compression is upgraded to planar contact between conductive films.Therefore,the resistance change of AMLM-PM reaches four orders of magnitude under compression.Moreover,the inter-skeleton conductive films can improve the mechanical strength of foam,prevent the leakage of liquid metal and increase the scattering area of EM wave.AMLM-PM foam has strain-adaptive EMI shielding performance and shows compression-enhanced shielding effectiveness,solving the problem of traditional CPFs upon compression.The upgrade of resistance response also enables foam to achieve sensitive pressure sensing over a wide pressure range and compression-regulated Joule heating function.

文摘With the rapid development of 5G communication technology and wearable electronic devices,the demand for low-reflection electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding materials is becoming increasingly urgent.In this work,reduced graphene oxide-MXene(rGMH)@FeNi/epoxy EMI shielding composites with a regular honeycomb structure were successfully prepared by the combination of surface functionalization modification,sacrificial template,and freeze-drying.The effects of magnetic FeNi alloy particle loading mode and loading amount on the EMI shielding performance of composites were investigated.The results show that rGMH@FeNi/epoxy EMI shielding composites have the highest EMI shielding effectiveness(EMI SE)and the lowest reflection shielding effectiveness when magnetic FeNi alloy particles are loaded only on the graphene skeleton.In this composite,the EMI SE value of the composite is 61 dB when the rGMH@FeNi mass fraction is 5.4 wt%(f-FeNi mass fraction is 0.9 wt%),which is 4.7 times that of the blended rGO/MXene/FeNi/epoxy resin composite(13 dB)with the same mass fraction.At the same time,the rGMH@FeNi/epoxy composite has excellent thermal stability(heat-resistance index of 190.3℃)and mechanical properties(energy storage modulus of 8606.7 MPa).These polymer-based EMI shielding composites with excellent EMI shielding properties and low reflection effectiveness have great potential in the protection of high-power,portable and wearable electronic devices against electromagnetic pollution.
