Abstract
Developing high-performance electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials that are lightweight and flexible and have excellent mechanical properties is an ideal choice for modern integrated electronic devices and microwave protection. Herein, we report the preparation of core-shell polyaniline (PANI)-based nanofiber membranes for EMI shielding through seed polymerization. Electrospinning a PANI solution leads to homogeneously dispersed PANI on the nanofiber surface, with abundant attachment sites for aniline through electrostatic adsorption and hydrogen bonding interaction, allowing PANI to grow on the nanofiber surfaces. This stable core-shell heterostructure provides more interfaces for reflecting and absorbing microwaves. The PANI/PVDF@PANI membranes achieved a shielding efficiency (SE) of 44.7 dB at a thickness of only 1.2 mm, exhibiting an exceptionally high specific EMI shielding effectiveness (SE/t) of 372.5 dB cm-1. Furthermore, the composite membrane exhibits outstanding mechanical stability, durability, air permeability, and moisture permeability, also making it suitable for applications such as EM shielding clothing.
