Abstract
The polypyrrole-coated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were prepared by in situ chemical oxidative polymerization of pyrrole on the surface of MWCNTs for the novel electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials. The oxyfluorination treatment on MWCNTs introduced the hydrophilic functional groups resulting in well distribution and higher interfacial affinity between polypyrrole (PPy) and MWCNTs. The PPy phases formed on MWCNTs were observed by SEM. The thickness of PPy on the surface of MWCNTs decreased as increasing the hydrophilic groups on MWCNTs by the oxyfluorination treatment. The PPy-coated MWCNT composites showed the remarkable increases in permittivity, permeability, and EMI shielding efficiency (SE). The EMI SE of PPy-coated MWCNTs increased up about 28.6 dB mainly based on the absorption mechanism.
