Abstract
The effective integration of multiple functions into electromagnetic wave-absorbing (EWA) materials is the future development direction but remains a huge challenge. A rational selection of components and the design of structures can make the material have excellent EWA performance and heat dissipation. Herein, the core-shell structured boron nitride@nitrogen-doped carbon (BN@NC) is prepared by using waterborne polyurethane (WPU) as the carbon source via a facile pyrolysis treatment process, where NC is used as the conductive loss shell, and BN serves as an impedance matching core and dominant heat transfer media. As a result, the BN@NC-900 filled with paraffin wax yields a minimum reflection loss of -42.2 dB at 2.2 mm and an effective absorbing bandwidth of 4.48 GHz at 1.8 mm, and its thermal conductivity reaches up to 0.92 W/m·K in epoxy resin. Most importantly, flexible BN@NC/WPU films are prepared and simultaneously achieve the dual-functional capability of efficiently dissipating heat and electromagnetic waves (-50.0 dB). Besides, an attractive multiband absorption feature (>99%) from C to Ku bands is realized and a strong absorbing over -27.0 dB at the S band (2.88 GHz) is even achieved. This study may pave a new route for the rational design of multifunctional EWA materials.
